Cranberries and almonds are mixed to make a 100 pound trail mix. If the cranberries cost $1.90 per pound and almonds cost $1.20 per pound, how many pounds of almonds are needed to make the mix cost $1.48 per pound?
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "Equation:
\n" ); document.write( "Quantity:: c + a = 100 lbs
\n" ); document.write( "Value:: 190c + 120a = 148*100 cents
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Modify for elimination:
\n" ); document.write( "190c + 190a = 190*100
\n" ); document.write( "190c + 120a = 148*100
\n" ); document.write( "-------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Subtract and solve for \"a\"::
\n" ); document.write( "70a = 22*100
\n" ); document.write( "a = 31.43 lbs (amt. of almonds needed)
