1) Delectable Cookie Company sells chocolate chip cookies for $6.95 per pound and white chocolate cookies for $5.95 per pound. How many pounds of chocolate chip
cookies should be mixed with 4 pounds of white chocolate cookies to obtain a mixture
that sells for $6.75 per pound?

16lbs

Step-by-step explanation: CCC=Chocolate Chip Cookie; WCC=White Chocolate Cookie.

Set up a table showing the pricing ($/lb) and pounds (lbs) for both cookies. The total value of the WCC is $23.8 ($5.95/lb x 4 lbs). The value of the CCC is 6.95x, where x is the lbs CCC.

CCCWCC

6.955.95$/lb

x 4 lbs

6.95x 23.8 $ Total value [$/lb * lbs]

We want x lbs of CCC cookies such that the total value of cookies divided by the total number of lbs is equal to $6.75/lb. That can be written as:

(6.95x + 5.95*4)/(x+4) = 6.75 [Total value of cookies divided by total weight equals $6.75]

(6.95x + 23.8)/(x+4) = 6.75

6.95x + 23.8 =6.75x + 27

0.2x = 3.2

x = 16 lbs

We need 16 lbs of CCC added to the 4 lbs of WCC for a total weight of 20 lbs and a price of $6.75/lb.
