360 kilograms of Turkish coffe and 120 kilograms of Kenyan coffee

anonymous · Answer

Because:

x+y=1
11x+15y=14(1)

11x-15(1-x)=14
-4=-1
x=(1/4)

So, for every kilogram, 1/4 should be kenyan coffee. Since there are 480 kilograms, multiply 480 by 1/4 to get 120. The rest must be Turkish coffee, to 480-120=360, the amount of turkish coffee

Does that make sense?
