Answer:

60 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = number of pounds of grass seeds A

The number of pounds of grass seed B = 140 pounds

Total pounds of the resulting mixture = (140 + x) pounds

Rye grass A = 60% = 0.6

Rye grass B = 80% = 0.8

Total percent of mixture formed = 74% = 0.74

Hence, we have the equation:

0.6x + 0.8 × 140 = 0.74 ( 140 + x)

0.6x + 112 = 103.6 + 0.74x

Collect like terms

112 - 103.6 = 0.74x - 0.6x

8.4 = 0.14x

x = 60 pounds

Therefore, the quantity of the 60% mixture used is 60 pounds.
