your answers to the nearest whole number of pounds.

11 pounds of Guatemala Antigua coffee

9 pounds of Arabian Mocha coffee

Step-by-step explanation:

Guatemala Antigua coffee - $10.20 per pound

Arabian Mocha coffee - $13.00 per pound

First find the total profit from the 20 pounds of the new coffee blend.

20 × $11.46 = $229.20

Now set up an equation.

$10.20g + $13.00a = $229.20

Use guess and check to find the number of pounds of each type of coffee.

$10.20g + $13.00a = $229.20

$10.20(11) + $13.00(9) = $229.20

$112.20 + $117 = $229.20

$229.20 = $229.20

It checks out. So, they should mix 11 pounds of Guatemala Antigua coffee and 9 pounds of Arabian Mocha coffee.

Hope that helps.
