    To answer this question you need to create 2 equations:

    S+C=50

    2.50S+3.75C=3.35 * (50)

    S=50-C - so now you can plug in S into the second equation

    2.50 * (50-C) + 3.75C=167.5

    Now you just need to solve this equation, the final answer will be 34 pounds of colombian coffee and 16 pounds of sumatra coffee
