Jenny's Coffee Shop makes a blend that is a mixture of two types of coffee. Type A coffee costs Jenny $4.40 per pound, and type B coffee costs $5.65 per pound. This month's blend used four times as many pounds of type B coffee as type A, for a total cost of $972. How many pounds of type A coffee were used?
