Roasted Nuts
Mixture Of 20lbs

X $ 2.50/lb
X $ 7.50/lb
X $ 4.50/lb

2.5 C
7.5 R
90

C+R = 20
2.5C + 7.5R= 90
To Solve for one C OR R to get how much each is needed in the mix?
C+ R = 20
C = 20 - R

2.5C + 7.5R = 90
2.5(20- R) + 7.5R = 90
50 - 2.5R +7.5 R =90
50 + 5R = 90
5R = 40
R=8

C = 20 - R(8)
C = 12

Now we know we need 8 lbs of

Roasted Nuts in the Mixture

Amount of Caramel Corn we will need is 12lbs
