How many kilograms of raisins should be mixed with 10 kg of peanuts to obtain a mixture worth $4.00 per kg?
---
The per kg price of raisins is $5
---------------------------------------------
Equations:
peanut value + raisin value = mixture value
3.8*10 + 5*x = 4(x+10)
38 + 5x = 4x + 40
x = 2 kg (amount of raisins needed in the mixture)
