Problema Solution
A snack is made from granola and nuts. In a 28-oz container, there is 1 more ounce of granola than twice the ounces of nuts. How many ounces of each are in the snack?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let x = oz of nuts:
It says,"1 more ounce of granola than twice the ounces of nuts." therefore
(2x+1) = oz of granola
:
nuts + granola = 28
x + (2x+1) = 28
3x + 1 = 28
3x = 28 - 1
3x = 27
x = 9 oz of nuts
