Answer:

There are 250 peanuts, 150 raisins and 100 chocolate chips in the mix.

Step-by-step explanation:

First consider the numbers of raisins and of chocolate chips:

3     150

-- = ------  =>  3x = 300, so that x = 100.  There are 100 chocolate chips and

2        x                                                      150 raisins.

Raisins and peanuts:

5        x

--- = -------  =>  3x = 750 after cross multiplication

3       150

then x = 250 peanuts.

There are 250 peanuts, 150 raisins and 100 chocolate chips in the mix.
