Question 227839
A bag of peanuts is worth 30 cents less than a bag of cashews.
 Equal amounts of peanuts and cashews are used to make 40 bags of a mixture that sells for $1.05 per bag.
 How much would a bag of cashews be worth?
:
Let x = cost of a bag of cashews
then
(x-.30) = cost of peanuts
:
there will be 20 bags of each
:
20x + 20(x-.30) = 1.05(40)
;
20x + 20x - 6 = 42
:
40x = 42 + 6
:
40x = 48
x = {{{48/40}}}
x = $1.20 cost of a bag of cashews
