Answer:

  • 11 lbs of Arabian Mocha
  • 5.5 lbs of Columbian Decaf

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we want twice as much Mocha as Decaf, we can create a "bag" that contains 2 lbs of Mocha (at 11.50 each) and 1 lb of Decaf (at 10). The value of this "bag" is then 2×11.50 +10.00 = 33.00. For 181.50, we can buy ...

  181.50/33.00 = 5.5

"bags". This amount is ...

  11 lbs of Arabian Mocha and 5.5 lbs of Columbian Decaf
