5. hailey would like to make a 5 lb coffee mixture that is 60% sumatra coffee bean blend. she has several pounds of a mixture that is 20% sumatra beans and another mixture blend with 80% sumatra beans . let x represent the amount of the 20% blend and y represent the amount of the 80% blend to find out how many pounds of each mixture hailey will need. (a) what is the system that models this situation? (b) what is the solution to the system: show your work.

Hailey's mixing two different coffee blends.  Represent them by x and y (in pounds).  Then x + y = 5 lb, and x = 5 - y.How much puree Sum. beans are we talking about here?
0.20x +0.80y = 0.60(5 lb)  Mult all 3 terms by 100 to get rid of factions:
20x + 80 y = 300.  Substitute 5-y for x:
20(5-y) + 80y = 300 => 100-20y + 80y = 300 => 60y = 200,  so                                                                                  y = 20/6 or 10/3 lb                                              den x = 5-10/3, or    x =5/3 lb
Use 5/3 lb of the first blend and 10/3 lb of the second blend to come up with 5 lb of a 60% blend.
