Question 1133930
A man wants to make up 100 one-pound jars of nuts to sell for 66 cents a jar.
 He plans to use 40 pounds of nuts worth 75 cents a pound.
 What should be the price of the other type of nuts he uses?
: 
 100 - 40 = 60 lb of the other kind of nuts
let x = the price of these nuts
.75(40) + 60x = .66(100)
30 + 60x = 66
60x = 66 - 30
x = 36/60
x = .60
:
The other nuts price is 60 cents
:
:
Check: .75(40) + .60(60) = .66(100)
30 + 36 = 66
