Answer:

0.4h ; 60 - h ;18 - 0.3h ; 0.1h + 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Old house blend = 40% Columbian beans

New house blend = 30% Columbian beans

h = number of pounds of old house blend

a.) pound of columbian bean in old house blend :

40% of h = 0.4h

b.) pound of new blend poured into the bean:

Size of bin = 60 pound

Size of bin - pound of old house blend

(60 - h)

c. Amount of columbian bean in pound of new house blend :

30% of (60 - h)

0.3 * (60 - h)

18 - 0.3h

D.) Amount of columbian bean in 60 pound bin

(Pound of columbian bean in old house blend + pound of Columbian bean in New house blend)

0.4h + (18 - 0.3h)

0.4h + 18 - 0.3h

0.1h + 18
