A man wants to make up 100 one-pound jars of nuts to sell for 66 cents a jar.
\n" ); document.write( " He plans to use 40 pounds of nuts worth 75 cents a pound.
\n" ); document.write( " What should be the price of the other type of nuts he uses?
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Since we already know we have 40lb, and we want 100lb, 60lb of unknown price nuts are required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "let p = the price per pound of 60lb of nuts
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The mixture equation
\n" ); document.write( "75(40) + 60p = 66(100)
\n" ); document.write( "3000 + 60p = 6600
\n" ); document.write( "60p = 6600 - 3000
\n" ); document.write( "60p = 3600
\n" ); document.write( "p = 360/60
\n" ); document.write( "p = 60 cents a lb nuts required
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Check this
\n" ); document.write( "75(40) + 60(60) = 66(100)
\n" ); document.write( "3000 + 3600 = 6600 \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
