Question 928587: The nuthouse has 20 lb of mixed cashews and pecans worth $8.10 per pound. Cashews alone sell for $8.50 per pound and pecans sell for $7.50 per pound. How many pounds of each are in the mixture? Answer by TimothyLamb(4379) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! x = pounds of cashews
y = pounds of pecans
---
x + y = 20
850x + 750y = 810*20
---
put the system of linear equations into standard form
---
x + y = 20
850x + 750y = 16200
---
