Question 382651: How many pounds of salted nuts selling for $1.20 per pound should be mixed with 4 pounds of salted nuts selling for $2.80 per pound to obtain a mixture selling for $1.84 per pound? Answer by robertb(5830) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1.20*x + 2.80*4 = 1.84(x+4);
1.2x + 11.2 = 1.84x + 7.36;
3.84 = 0.64x;
x = 6 pounds of $1.20 per pound salted nuts.
