A bag of peanuts is worth 30 cents less than a bag of cashews.
\n" ); document.write( " Equal amounts of peanuts and cashews are used to make 40 bags of a mixture that sells for $1.05 per bag.
\n" ); document.write( " How much would a bag of cashews be worth?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Let x = cost of a bag of cashews
\n" ); document.write( "then
\n" ); document.write( "(x-.30) = cost of peanuts
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "there will be 20 bags of each
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "20x + 20(x-.30) = 1.05(40)
\n" ); document.write( ";
\n" ); document.write( "20x + 20x - 6 = 42
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "40x = 42 + 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "40x = 48
\n" ); document.write( "x = \"48%2F40\"
\n" ); document.write( "x = $1.20 cost of a bag of cashews
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
