7 kg of soybean oil, which costs $4/kg, was combined with 14 kg of canola oil, which costs $1/kg. Find the cost per kg of the mixture.

(7 4 + 14 1)/(7+14) = 42/21 = $2/ kg of mixture;

To determine the cost per kg of the mixture of 7 kg of soybean oil at $4/kg and 14 kg of canola oil at $1/kg, the total cost is $42 and the total mass is 21 kg. Therefore, the cost per kg of the mixture is $2.00. This calculation involves adding the costs and masses of both oil types and then dividing the total cost by the total mass.
