How many pounds of tea costing 30 cents per pound must be added to 60 pounds of tea costing 45 cents per pound so that the mixture can be sold for 50 cents per pound at a gain of $7.00?
My attempt with variations of
(.45)(60)+.3x=.50(60+x)+7.00
have left me frustrated.
Any help at how to start will surely be appreciated.
