Answer:

Carlos has to buy 6 pounds of granola and 2 pounds of cranberries.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need an equation to calculate the money spend when buying granola (g) and cranberries (c). Carlos wants to spend $29 and make 8 pounds of mix. The equations are:

3*g+5.50*c=29 Eq. 1

g+c=8 Eq. 2

This is the system of equations that Carlos have to use.

Solving it, we have:

g=8-c Replacing it in the first one:

3*(8-c)+5.50*c=29

24-3c+5.50*c=29

2.50*c=29-24

c=\frac{5}{2.50}

c=2

Calculating g from the equation 2:

g=8-c

g=8-2

g=6

Carlos has to buy 6 pounds of granola and 2 pounds of cranberries.
