The fussy Foods deli serves a simple fruit salad with strawberries and bannanas if strawberries cost $2.30 per lb and nanners cost $.30 per lb how many lbs of both should be used to make 5 lb blend that costs $1.70 per lb.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "s + n = 5 --> n = 5-s
\n" ); document.write( "230s + 30n = 850
\n" ); document.write( "Sub for n
\n" ); document.write( "23s + 3(5-s) = 85
\n" ); document.write( "23s + 15 - 3s = 85
\n" ); document.write( "20s = 70
\n" ); document.write( "s = 3.5 pounds of strawberries
\n" ); document.write( "n = 1.5 pounds of bananas
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "3.5*2.30 + 1.5*0.30
\n" ); document.write( "= $8.05 + $0.45
\n" ); document.write( "= $8.50 so it's correct
\n" ); document.write( "
