Complete question :
Abdul's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Abdul $4.25 per pound, and type B coffee costs $5.90 per pound. This month's blend used twice as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, for a total cost of $337.05 . How many pounds of type A coffee were used?
Answer:
21 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Pounds of coffee A used = x
Pounds of coffee B = 2x
Cost per pound of A = $4.25
Cost per pound of B = $5.90
Total cost of coffee = $337.05
4.25x + 2x(5.90) = 337.05
4.25x + 11.8x = 337.05
16.05x = 337.05
x = 337.05 / 16.05
x = 21
Hence, 21 pounds of coffee A was used
