Answer:

21 pounds

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of Type A coffee in the blend. Then the number of pounds of Type B coffee is 4x, and the cost of the blend is ...

4.35x +5.40(4x) = 544.95

25.95x = 544.95 . . . . . . . . . . simplify

x = 21 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 25.95

21 pounds of Type A coffee were used.
