Question

Tara’s website, Garden Edibles, specializes
in the sale of herbs and flowers for colorful meals and garnishes. Tara
sells packets of nasturtium seeds for $0.95 each and packets of Johnny-jumpup
seeds for $1.43 each. She decides to offer a 16-packet spring-garden combination,
combining packets of both types of seeds at $1.10 per packet. How
many packets of each type of seed should be put in her garden mix?

Answer 1

there are many answers available. for it to be a mix, at least one packet of Jj-up should be included.
(.95*15+1.43)/16=.98
leaving her a profit of .12
(.95*11+5*1.43)/16 = 1.1, but then no profit, so choose no profit, exact answer, or a range of answers.
