A dealer wishes to make cashew nuts selling at OR 192 per kilogram and peanuts
selling at OR 168 per kiloram.How much of each nut should be mixed to get 8 kilograms worth OR 174 per kilogram?
----------------------------------------
Equation:
value + value = value
192x + 168(8-x) = 8*174
192x + 168*8 - 168x = 174*8
24x = 6*8
x = 2 (# of kilograms of OR 192 cashews
8-x = 6 (# of kilograms of OR 168 peanuts)
