Question

I will give brainliest, I'm kind of desperate: How many jars of nuts worth $4 per jar must be mixed with some nuts worth $6 per jar to get 50 jars of nuts worth $4.80 per jar? Please, show work, thanks.

Answer 1

Let the number of jars of $4 be x and  of $6 be y ,  then:-

4x + 6y = 240
x + y = 50

Answer is 20 of $6 and 30 of the $4.
