The amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds
<h3>Word problem on total cost</h3>
Cost of 1 pound of cashew = $14
Cost of 1 pound of peanut = $6.50
Total cost of 1 pound of the mixed nuts = $10.25
Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = 5 x $6.50
Cost of 5 pounds of peanuts = $32.50
Let the amount of cashew be x
Total cost of x cashew = 14x
Total amount of the mixed nuts = x + 5
Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25(x+5)
Total cost of the mixed nuts = 10.25x + 51.25
14x + 32.50 = 10.25x + 51.25
14x - 10.25x = 51.25 - 32.50
3.75x = 18.75
x = 18.75/3.75
x = 5
Therefore, the amount of cashew mixed is 5 pounds
