Problema Solution
A snack company is mixing corn and peanuts to make a mixture worth $8 per kilo. Peanuts cost $9.50 per kilo and they use 3 kilos per batch. If corn costs $6 per kilo, how many kilos of corn do they need per batch?
Answer provided by our tutors
We will assume that we use 1 bath of peanuts and 1 batch of corn to make the mixture.
Let
x = represent the kilograms of corn per batch needed, x>0
6x + 9.5*3 = 8(x + 3)
........
........
x = 2.25 kg
They need 2.25 kilograms of corn per batch.
