Last year, a coffee roasting company purchased new roasting machines to bring their total number of machines to 10. These 10 machines can roast 210 lbs of coffee beans in 3 hours. Before purchasing the new machines, the company could roast 84 lbs of beans in 2 hours. If all of the machines work at the same constant rate, how many machines did the company buy last year?

10 machine can roast 210 lbs of coffee beans in 3 hrs
1 machine can roast 21 lbs of coffee beans in 3 hrs
1 machine can roast 7 lbs of coffee beans in 1 hr
Before buying the new machines the company could roast 84 lbs of beans in 2 hrs
If 1 machine can roast 7 lbs of coffee beans in 1 hr then
1 machine can roast 14 lbs of coffee beans in 2 hrs
6 machines can roast 84 lbs of coffee beans in 2 hrs.
Therefore the company must have bought 4 machine last year.
1 machine can roast 21 lbs of coffee beans in 3 hrs
