Question

3. A company wants to make 16 lb of Cinnamon costing $17 per pound. The blend is made using

a $19-per-lb cinnamon and a $11-per-lb cinnamon. How many pound of each of these cinnamon
should be used?

Answer 1

12 pounds of the $19-per-lb

4 pounds of the $11-per-lb

Explanation:

What I did was to do how much over would it be if it was all 19 dollar pound ones, that was way over, so I just slow went down until I got the number of 16 lb *17 per pound.
