Answer:

The weight of peanuts in the mixture   = 8  kg

The weight of corns in the given mixture = 4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the weight of peanuts in the mixture   = x kg

The weight if corns in the given mixture = y kg

Total weight = (x + y) kg

The combined mixture weight = 12 kg

⇒ x  + y = 12  ..... (1)

Cost of per kg if mixture  = $ 40

So, the cost of (x + y) kg mixture  = (x+y) 40 = 40(x+ y)   ..... (2)

 

The cost of 1 kg of peanuts =  $ 42

So cost of x kg of peanuts  = 42 (x)  = 42 x

The cost of 1 kg of corns  = $ 36

So cost of y kg of corns  = 36 (y)  = 36 y

So, the total cost of x kg peanuts  + y kg corns =  42 x +  36 y  .... (3)

From (1) and (2), we get:

40(x+ y)  = 42 x +  36 y

x +  y = 12 ⇒ y = 12 -x

Put this in  40(x+ y)  = 42 x +  36 y

We get:

40(x+ 12 -x)  = 42 x +  36 (12 -x)

480 = 42 x + 432 - 36 x

or, 480 - 432 = 6 x

or, x  = 8

⇒ y = 12 -x = 12 - 8 = 4

⇒  y = 4

Hence, the weight of peanuts in the mixture   = 8  kg

The weight of corns in the given mixture = 4 kg
