Answer:
1 1/2 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
2/3 cup of almonds = 4 cups of trail mix
4 cups of trail mix = 2/3 cup of almond
4 cups of trail mix = 2/3 cup of almond
1 cup of trail mix = 2/3 ÷ 4 = 1/6 cup of almond
1 cup of trail mix = 1/6 cup of almond
9 cups of trail mix = 1/6 x 9 = 3/2 cup of almond
3/2 cups = 1 1/2 cups
10-6v+9v=28
10+3v=28
-10 -10
3v=18
3 3
v=6
Let x = pounds of $12 per pound coffee
then
20-x = pounds of $9 per pound coffee
.
12x + 9(20-x) = 10(20)
12x + 180 - 9x = 200
3x + 180 = 200
3x = 20
x = 20/3
x = 6 and 2/3 pounds of $12 per pound coffee
.
Amount of $9 per pound coffee:
20-x = 20-20/3 = 60/3 - 20/3 = 40/3
or
13 and 1/3 pounds of $9 per pound coffee
