Let \"A\" be the amount of $2.50/kg nuts.
\n" ); document.write( "Let \"B\" be the amount of $1.00/kg cereal.
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( ".

\n" ); document.write( "1.\"A%2BB=30\"
\n" ); document.write( "Concentration/Price equation:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.5A%2B1B=1.7%2830%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "2.\"2.5A%2BB=51\"
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract eq. 1 from eq. 2,
\n" ); document.write( "\"2.5A%2BB-A-B=51-30\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"1.5A=21\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28A=14%29\"kg
\n" ); document.write( "Now that you have \"A\" use either equation to solve for \"B\".
