You can put this solution on YOUR website!
You are using 40lbs of 0.75 and want to make 100, so you must add 60lbs of x:
\n" ); document.write( "40(0.75) + 60(x) = 100(0.66)
\n" ); document.write( "30 + 60x = 66
\n" ); document.write( "60x = 36
\n" ); document.write( "x = 0.60
\n" ); document.write( "the price of the other type of nuts should be 60 cents a pound
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
