A grocer wants to make a 10-pound mixture of peanuts and cashews that he can sell for $4.75 per pound. If peanuts cost $4.00 per pound and cashews cost $6.50 per pound, how many pounds of cashews should he use?

Respuesta :

My best guess is 3 pounds of cashews
3. 3x6.5=19.5. 4.75x10=47.5. 47.5-19.5=28 28/4=7. To make his 10 pound bag he would have 7 lbs peanuts and 3 lbs cashews :)
