A candy store sells 8 pound bags of mixed almonds and cashews. If c pounds of cashews are in a bag,...
c=1 was already given as described. The store sells pound bags.
The rest of the description and question seem not to match. Maybe each bag contains 8 pounds of the two nuts. Eight pounds and some of this is of cashews. Now, c is how many pounds of cashews in one bag.

You want to know the quantity of cashews if p=18.11 dollars per bag.
-------plug in p=18.11.
