Question

A pound of raisins costs $2.00, and a pound of almonds costs $5.00. Six pounds of a trail mix contains 2 more pounds of raisins than almonds. What is the cost of the 6 pounds of trail mix?

Answer 1

r = weight of almonds.
a = weight of almonds

a + r = 6
a + 2 = r

a + a + 2 = 6
2a = 4
a = 2
r = 4

That means there are 4 lb of raisins and 2 lb of almonds in 6 lb of trail mix.

Now use the price per pound of each to find the total cost.
