Answer:
Option A and C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Venetta buys 2 pounds of pistachios and 3 pounds of almonds for $48.
The cost of pistachios $4 more per pound than the almonds.
Let the cost of almonds be a
Therefore, cost of pistachios p = 4 + a ------(1)
Venetta bought 2 pound of pistachios and 3 pounds of almonds for $48, so the equation will be
2p + 3a = 48 -----------(2) [we will substitute equation 1]
2(4+a) + 3a = 48 --------------(3)
(2 × 4) + (2 × a) + 3a = 48
2a + 3a + 8 = 48
5a + 8 = 48
5a = 48 - 8
5a = 40
a = 40/5
a = 8
hence the cost of almonds are $8 per pound.
the cost of pistachios is 4 + 8 = $12 per pound.
Option A and C is the correct answer.
