Question 458563: I'm not sure how to solve this problem. I haven't been taught how to yet. Could you please help me with this and show me how you figured out the answer? Thanks.
Becky would like to buy some almonds and cashews. She decides to buy 3 pounds of almonds at $7.00 per pound. The cashews sell for $9.00 per pound. How many pounds of cashews did she buy if the average price was $8.25 per pound?
Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
3(7.00)+x(9.00)=8.25(3+x)
21+9x=24.75+8.25x
.75x=3.75
x=3.75/.75=5
Becky bought 5 pounds of cashews, totaling 8 pounds of nuts at $8.25 a pound..
