Question 322471: The owner of Nuts2U Snack Shack mixes cashews worth $6.25 a pound with peanuts worth $2.00 a pound to get a half-pound mixed nut bag worth $1.70. How much of each kind of nut is included in the mixed bag? Answer by nyc_function(2741) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let c = number of cashews
Let p = number of peanuts
c + p = 0.5
6.25c + 2.00p = 1.70
This is your system of equations in two variables.
