Answer:
3 pounds of peanuts and 2 pounds of cashews
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the pounds of peanuts and y be the pounds of cashews
Greta wants to make 5 pounds of a nut mix using peanuts and cashews.
So, ----- A
Cost of 1 pound of peanuts = $4
Cost of x pounds of peanuts = 4x
Cost of 1 pound of cashews = $9
Cost of y pounds of cashews = 9y
Her budget requires the mixture to cost her $6 per pound
So, cost of mixture of x pounds of peanuts and y pounds of cashews is 6(x+y)
So, --- B
Plot A and B
---Blue
---Green
Refer the attached figure
Intersection point = (x,y)=(3,2)
Hence she should use 3 pounds of peanuts and 2 pounds of cashews
