Question 852157: The owner of a local chocolate shop wants to develop a new trail mix. How many pounds of chocolate covered almonds worth $4.75 per pound should be mixed with 7 pounds of granola bites worth $2.25 per pound to get a mixture worth 3$ per pound?
I have made a chart to set up the equation but I just don't understand where to put each amount into the chart I set up. I just need the formula and then I can solve it. I just don't know how to set it up. Please help.
