Question

Find the cost per pound of a "house blend" of coffee that is made from 10 lb of Central American coffee that costs $7 per pound and 40 lb of South American coffee that costs $4.50 per pound

Answer 1

10lb times $7= $70
40lb times $4.50= $180
40lb plus 10lb= 50lb
$180 divided by 50lb= $3.6

$3.60 per pound of house blend
