Problema Solution

Pepperidge Farm® Goldfish is a snack food for which 40% of its calories come from fat. Rold Gold® Pret zels receive 9% of their calories from fat. How many grams of each would be needed to make 620 g of a snack mix for which 15% of the calories are from fat?

Answer provided by our tutors

let x grams of goldfish

let y gram of pret

 

40*x/100+9*y/100= 15*620/100

 

40x+9y= 9300

  x+y =620

9x+9y=5580

31x= 3720

x= 120

y=620-120 =500
