Answer:

1.62 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the pounds of Arabica

Take the number of pounds times the cost of each of the coffees individually

This must be equal to the number of pounds times the cost together

x * 28 + 8.75 *3 = ( x+3) 15.50

28x+26.25=(x+3)15.50

Distribute

28x+ 26.25 = 15.50x + 46.50

Subtract 15.50x from each side

28x-15.50x +26.25 = 15.50x +46.50-15.50x

12.50x + 26.25 = 46.50

Subtract 26.25 from each side

12.50x +26.25-26.25 = 46.50-26.25

12.50x = 20.25

Divide each side by 12.5

12.5x/12.5 = 20.25/12.5

x =1.62
