Answer:
8 pounds of peanuts, 6 pounds of raisins and 6 pounds of chocolate chips
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of pounds of peanuts and y be the number of pounds of raisins and chocolate chips.
Peanuts cost $2 per pound, then x pounds cost $2x.

Solve the system of two equations:
From the first equation:
Substitute x into the second equation:
