If there are x kg of Brazilian coffee, then the rest (420-x) is Turkish. So,
10x + 13(420-x) = 12*420
x = 140
Note that 140 is 1/3 of 420, meaning that it drags the price down 1/3 of the way from 13 to 10, or $12.
10x + 13(420-x) = 12*420
x = 140
Note that 140 is 1/3 of 420, meaning that it drags the price down 1/3 of the way from 13 to 10, or $12.
