A candy store sells chocolate-covered almonds for $7.50 per pound and chocolate-covered peanuts for $5.00 per pound. The man

ager decides to make a bridge mix that combines the almonds with the peanuts. She wants the bridge mix to sell for $7.00 per pound, and there should be no loss in revenue from selling the bridge mix rather than the almonds and peanuts alone. How many pounds of chocolate-covered almonds and how many pounds of chocolate-covered peanuts are required to create 65 pounds of bridge mix?
