A bag of peanuts is worth $0.24 less than a bag of cashews. Equal amounts of peanuts and cashews are used to make 30 bags of a mixture that sells for $1.10 per bag. How much is a bag of cashews worth?
Answer provided by our tutors
let x the price of a bag of cashews. Then the price of a bag of peanuts is x-0.24.
The total price for 30 bags of equal mixture is
price = x*15 +(x-0.24)*15
30*1.10 = 30*x - 3.6
30x =33+3.6
x = 1.22 the price of a bag of cashews
