Question 320511: write a system of equation and choose the best method to solve each system. solve and check answers.
The owner of a health-food store sells a mixture of seeds and nuts. The seeds cos .20 pers ounce, and the nuts cost .30 per ounce. Forty-two ounces of the mixture has a value of $11.00. How many ounces of seeds and nuts did the owner use in the mix? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .20x+.30(42-x)=11
.20x+12.6-.30x=11
-.10x=11-12.6
-.10x=-1.6
x=-1.6/-.10
x=16 oz. of seeds.
42-16=26 oz. of nuts.
Proof:
.20*16+.30*26=11
3.2+7.8=11
11=11
