The manager decides to make a bridge mix that combines the almonds with the peanuts. She wants the bridge mix to sell for $6.00 per pound, and there should be no loss in revenue from selling the bridge mix versus the almonds and peanuts alone. How many pounds of chocolate-covered almonds and chocolate-covered peanuts are required to create 50 pounds of this bridge mix? </SPAN>\n" );
