Number of pounds of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds and number of pounds of almonds is 4 pounds.

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Step 1:

Given total pounds of mixture = 12 pounds, cost of macadamia nuts per pound = $9, cost of almonds per pound = $5.25, total cost of mixture per pound = $7.75.

Let number of pounds of macadamia nuts be x and number of pounds of almonds be 12-x.

Step 2:

Form an equation using the above information.

⇒ 9x + 5.25 (12-x) = 12 × 7.75

⇒ 9x + 63 - 5.25x = 93

⇒ 9x - 5.25x = 30

⇒ 3.75x = 30

⇒ x = 8

Number of macadamia nuts is 8 pounds.

Step 3:

Calculate number pounds of almonds

⇒ Number of pounds of almonds = 12 - x = 4 pounds.
