Agrocer wants to make a 10-pound mixture of cash tans peanuts that he can sell for $3.29 per pound. if cashews cost $5.60 per pound and peanuts cost $2.30 per pound how many pounds of each must he mix

Label each nut with a variable, c = cashews, p = peanuts
for a 10-pound mix, you will need c + p = 10
the price for 10-pounds would become 3.29 x 10 = 32.90 

You will need an unknown amount of cashews at 5.60/lb and an unknown amount of peanuts at 2.30/lbs to get your full 10 pounds valued at 32.90
5.60c + 2.30p = 32.90 

Now you 2 have a system of 2 equations and 2 unknowns
c + p = 105.6c + 2.3p = 32.9utilize substitution to solve:p = 10-c
5.6 c + 2.3 (10-c) = 32.9
solve for c then substitute back into c + p = 10 to solve for P

Hope this helps!
