Answer:

If there is "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then, we can get the following equations,

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

whose solution is 5 lb peanuts and 5 lb mixture.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the mixture which Delaney wants to make there would be

\frac {10 \times 60}{100} lb

= 6 lb of peanuts

So, there will be (10 - 6) lb  

= 4 lb of almonds

If  Delaney has "p" pounds of peanuts and "m" pounds of the '20% peanuts and 80% almonds' mixture, then according to the question,

p + m = 10 -----------(1) and

4m/5 = 4 ------------(2)

So, from (2),

m = 5 --------------(3)

So, from (1) and (3) ,

p = (10 - 5) = 5
