If she made 100 pounds of a mixture worth $0.73 per pound, how many pounds of pecans are in the mixture? I have tried many times to solve this problem and I cant get it wrong otherwise I get a 0. If you can give me the equations to use I can solve it easily. I have tried the equation 1.12p+.6c=100*.73 and p+c=100 but I get a repeating decimal that doesnt work. thank you for your time. </SPAN>\n" );
