Question 1049202: How many pounds of nuts selling for $99 per lb and raisins selling for $33 per lb should a person combine to obtain a 90 lb bag of trail mix selling for $55 per lb? Answer by addingup(3677) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let the pounds of nuts at 99 be x
99x+33(90-x) = 55(90)
99x+2,970-33x = 4950
66x = 1,980
x = 30
You will combine 30 pounds of nuts with 90-30 = 60 pounds of raisins
