you bought a half pound of nuts and raisins that cost $4.49.The total cost was $7.13 . How much do the nuts cost per pound
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' be the cost of the nuts per pound
the raisins cost $4.49
the total cost of half pound nuts and raisins cost 7.13
x/2 + 4.49 = 7.13
x = (7.13 - 4.49)*2
x = $5.28 per pound
the nuts are $5.28 per pound.
