The Nutty Shoppe has 10 kg of mixed pecans and cashews, which sell for $ 8 per kilogram. Cashews alone sell for $8 per kilogram, and pecans sell for $9 per kilogram. How many kilograms of pecans are there in the mix?
\n" ); document.write( "How many kilograms of cashews are there in the mix? \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let amount of cashews be \"x\" kg
\n" ); document.write( "Then amount of pecans is \"10-x\" kg
\n" ); document.write( "Value of the cashews is 8x dollars.
\n" ); document.write( "Value of the pecans is 9(10-x)=90-9x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Value of mixture = 8(10)= 80 dollars
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( " value + value = value
\n" ); document.write( " 8x+90-9x=80
\n" ); document.write( " -x =-10
\n" ); document.write( " x=10 kg (amount of cashews)
\n" ); document.write( "10-x=0 kg (amount of pecans}
\n" ); document.write( "Quite a mixture; don't you think.
