The quantity of Type A coffee were used is 32 pounds .

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The cost of type A coffee = $ 5.50 per pound

The quantity of coffee of type B is twice than type A

Let The quantity of type A coffee = x pound

So, The quantity of type B coffee = 2 × x   pound

Now, According to question

x × $ 5.50 + 2 x × $ 4.25 = $ 448

Or,  x × $ 5.50 + x × $ 8.5 = $ 448

Or, 14 x = 448

∴ x =

I.e x = 32

∴ The quantity of type A coffee = 32 pound
