Answer:
4 bags of chocolate chips and 1 bag of walnuts.
Step-by-step explanation:
Find how many ounces are in 3 pounds:
16 oz = 1 lb
16 oz × 3 = 3 lbs
48 oz = 3 lbs
Variable x = number of chocolate chips
Variable y = number of walnuts
4x + 1y = 15
Keep in mind it must equal up to 48 oz and be $15 or under.
4 bags × 12 oz = 48 oz
1 bag × 4 oz = 4 oz
48 oz + 4 oz = 52 oz > 48 oz
4 bags × $3 = $12
1 bag × $2 = $2
$12 + $2 = $14 < $15
Both requirements have been met.
