I dont know if you know this, but there are 3 different 3's. So how can we figure out the question if we don't know which one is underlined?
Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of almonds per pound = $10
Cost of roasted pistachios = $12
Total amount spent = $70
Weight of nuts = 6.3
Let,
Weight of almonds = x
Weight of roasted pistachios = y
According to given statement;
x+y=6.3 Eqn 1
10x+12y=70 Eqn 2
Multiplying Eqn 1 by 10

Subtracting Eqn 3 from Eqn 2;

Dividing both sides by 2

Putting y=3.5 in Eqn 1

Christopher purchased 2.8 pounds of almonds and 3.5 pounds to roasted pistachios.
