A baker needs 15lb of cream cheese that contains 20% fat to fill a big order. But his supplier delivers one cream cheese that contains 10% fat, and another that contains 35% fat. How many pounds of each should a baker combine to fill the order?

.10x + .35x = 15(.20)
.45x = 3
x = 3/4.5
x = 6.67 or 6 2/3lbs
