Let \"+x+\" = the price per bag of cashews
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+-+.28+\" = the price per bag of peanuts
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "Since there are equal amounts of each in
\n" ); document.write( "the mixture, there are \"+64%2F2+=+32+\"
\n" ); document.write( "bags of each
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"+%28+32x+%2B+32%2A%28+x+-+.28+%29%29+%2F+64+=+1.4+\"

\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+-+.28+=+2.8+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+2x+=+3.08+\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"+x+=+1.54+\"
\n" ); document.write( "------------------
\n" ); document.write( "A bag of cashews is $1.54/bag
\n" ); document.write( "------------------------------
