Question 1196969


Step 1.  Let {{{x}}} be the number of pounds of almonds.


 

Step 1. Let {{{x}}} be the number of pounds of almonds.

Step 2.  Let {{{100-x}}} be the number of pounds of walnuts since we have a 100-pound mixture.
Step 3.  Let {{{6.60x}}} be the dollar value of almonds.

Step 4.  Let {{{5.60(100-x)}}} be the dollar value of walnuts.

Step 5.  Let {{{6.60x+5.60(100-x)=6.03*100}}} for a one-hundred pound mixture.


Step 6.  Solve the equation {{{6.60x+5.60(100-x)=6.03*100}}}  

{{{6.60x+560 - 5.60x=603}}} 
 
{{{6.60x - 5.60x=603-560}}}  

{{{x=43}}}  -> the number of pounds of almonds

{{{100-x=100-43=57}}} -> the number of pounds of walnuts
