Answer:
a type nut is 10 pounds
a different one is 14 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
let a type of the nut be represented by t
Let a different one be represented by d
a type of nut cost $7 per pound
a different one cost $4.20 per pound
The cost of the mixture for 24 pounds = 5.37 * 24
= $128.88
t + d = 24 ........(1)
7t + 4.2d = 128.88 ..........(2)
From equation (1), t = 24 - d
Put t = 24 - d in equation 2
7(24 - d) + 4.2d = 128.88
168 - 7d + 4.2d = 128.88
168 - 2.8d = 128.88
-2.8d = 128.88 - 168
-2.8d = -39.12
d = -39.12 / -2.8
d= 13.97
d = 14 pounds
t = 24 - d
t = 24 - 14
t = 10 pounds
A type nut is 10 pounds. A different one is 14 pounds
