Question 883716: store sells cashwes for $5.00 per poind and peanuts for $1.50per pund. The manager decides to mix 20 punds of penuts with some cashews and sells the mixture for $3.00 per pound. how many pounds of cashews should be mixed with the penuts so that the misxture will produce the same revenue as would selling the nuts separately?

which uses c for the pounds of cashews. The PRICE of the mixture is the real focus here and not the revenue. This price and the pounds of peanuts and cashews will give the revenue whether mixed or unmixed.
