You want to make a nut mix that has almonds, cashews, and peanuts. Almonds cost $7 per pound, cashews are $5 per pound, and peanuts are $2 per pound. If you want to make a 10 pound mix with a $20 budget find the possible mix combinations of almonds, cashews, and peanuts. How many pounds of almonds should you use

Answer and explanation:

Assume Almond is a

Cashew is c

Peanuts is p

The system of equations satisfies this thus:

a+c+p= 10

7a+5c+2p= $20

The system of equations has three unknowns. Solving for the unknown variables here would yield parametric equations or dependent system where given x y z we may find x in terms of y and z in terms of x, in that form. This would give many results for our problem which may not be very accurate.
