Question 760247: Solve:
The manager of a bulk foods establishment sells a trail mix for $8 per
pound and premium cashews for $15 per pound. The manager wishes to
make a 105-pound trail mix-cashew mixture that will sell for $12 per
pound. How many pounds of each should be used?
I am coming up with 45 pounds of trail mix, 60 pounds of cashews
Is this correct?

Your answer is correct. This is similar to problem number 760246.
I assume you solved it through 2 simultaneous equations. If the mix contains x pounds of trail mix and y pounds of cashews,
Solving the above 2 equations, you get x = 45, y = 60.
