Yolonda wanted to buy a total of 6 pounds of mixed nuts. She paid $21.60 for mixed nuts and $11.90 for dried fruit. Did Yolonda buy enough mixed nuts and dried fruit for the party

To find out if Yolonda bought enough mixed nuts and dried fruit for the party, we need to compare the total weight of the items purchased with the desired weight of 6 pounds.

Let's assume the weight of the mixed nuts is x and the weight of the dried fruit is y.

We are given that Yolonda paid $21.60 for the mixed nuts, so we can set up an equation based on the price per pound:

x * Price per pound of mixed nuts = $21.60

We are also given that Yolonda paid $11.90 for the dried fruit, so we can set up another equation based on the price per pound:

y * Price per pound of dried fruit = $11.90

We are further given that the total weight of the mixed nuts and dried fruit is 6 pounds:

x + y = 6

Now, we need to check if Yolonda bought enough mixed nuts and dried fruit by solving the system of equations.

From the first equation, we can rearrange it to solve for x:

x = $21.60 / Price per pound of mixed nuts

Similarly, from the second equation, we can rearrange it to solve for y:

y = $11.90 / Price per pound of dried fruit

Substituting these expressions for x and y in the third equation, we have:

$21.60 / Price per pound of mixed nuts + $11.90 / Price per pound of dried fruit = 6

Without knowing the specific prices per pound, it is not possible to determine if Yolonda bought enough mixed nuts and dried fruit for the party.
