Charlene and Gary want to make trail mix. In order to get the right balance of ingredients for their tastes they bought 3 pounds of raisins at $2.67 per pound, 3 pounds of peanuts for $2.73 per pound, and 5 pounds of chocolate chips for $3.27 per pound. Determine the cost per pound of the trail mix.
The cost per pound of the trail mix is $.

$2.96

Step-by-step explanation:

3x$2.67=$8.01

3x$2.73=$8.19

5x$3.27=$16.35

$8.01+$8.19+$16.35=$32.55

This makes 11 pounds of trail mix.

$32.55 divided by 11 = $2.9590909 = $2.96

3

step-by-step explanation:

in standard form:

a= dictionaries

b= maps

you have to buy 3 dictionaries, so put a 3 next to the a (dictionaries) so that you can multiply them by each other.

a3+b= 60 (the amount of money you have)

we already know the cost of a=15 so replace a with $15

($15 x 3)+b=60

multiply 15 and 3 to get $45 and replace it with $45

45+b=60

and then replace b with 15 to get the total:

45+15=60

that means you have $15 left after buying 3 dictionaries.

15 divided by the cost of a map ($5) equals 3.

so you can buy 3 maps.

sorry if it was confusing!
