Urgent plz ! a storekeeper wishes to sell 100 pounds of mixed nuts for $1.75 a pound. he mixes peanuts worth $1.65 a pound with cashews worth $1.90 a pound. how many pounds of each does he use?

First set up jars to organize your work.

In the first jar:

x pounds of cashews sell for $1.90

Second jar:

100-x pounds of peanuts sell for $1.65

All that equals your third jar:

100lbs that sells for $1.75

The equation:

1.90x + 1.65(100-x) = 1.75 × 100

Solution:

1.90x + 165 - 1.65x = 175

1.90x - 1.65x = 175 - 165

0.25x = 10

x = 40 cashews

peanuts = 100 - x meaning peanuts = 100 - 40= 60

There are 60 peanuts and 40 cashews.
