I know that the cost of coffee has gone up, but
$2000 per kg ????
I will assume that you meant $22.00, (even that is too high)
anyway.....
let the cost of the mix be $x per kg
8(20) + 12(22) = x(8+12)
20x = 424
x = $21.20
$2000 per kg ????

20x = 424
x = $21.20
8ร$2000
=$16000
2nd cost
12ร$2200
=$26400
The cost of the mixture per kg
=$16000+$26400/8+12
=$42400/20
=$2120
The total cost of the first batch of coffee would be 8kg multiplied by $2000, which equals $16,000. The total cost of the second batch of coffee would be 12kg multiplied by $2200, which equals $26,400.
Now, to find the total cost of the mixture, we just need to add those two amounts together: $16,000 + $26,400 = $42,400.
To find the cost per kg of the mixture, we divide the total cost ($42,400) by the total weight of the mixture (8kg + 12kg = 20kg).
So, $42,400 รท 20kg = $2120 per kg.
Phew, that's one expensive cup of coffee!
To calculate the total cost of the mixture:
1. Multiply the amount (weight) of the first kind of coffee (8 kg) by its cost per kg ($2000/kg). The result is 8 kg * $2000/kg = $16000.
2. Multiply the amount (weight) of the second kind of coffee (12 kg) by its cost per kg ($2200/kg). The result is 12 kg * $2200/kg = $26400.
3. Add the two results together: $16000 + $26400 = $42400.
To calculate the total weight of the mixture:
1. Add the weight of the first kind of coffee (8 kg) to the weight of the second kind of coffee (12 kg). The result is 8 kg + 12 kg = 20 kg.
To find the cost of the mixture per kg:
1. Divide the total cost of the mixture ($42400) by the total weight of the mixture (20 kg): $42400 / 20 kg = $2120/kg.
Therefore, the cost of the mixture per kg is $2120/kg.
