Jimmy is a partner in an internet-based coffee supplier. The company offers gourmet coffee beans for $14 per pound and regular coffee beans for $7 per pound. Jimmy is creating a medium-price product that will sell for $9 per pound. The first thing to go into mixing bin was 18 pounds of the gourmet beans. How many pounds of the less expensive regular beans should be added?

Respuesta :

Assuming he wants the value to be the same based on a ratio of gourmet to regular. The ratio is 18/45. Meaning the answer is he should add 45 pounds of regular coffee beans.
