Suppose you want to fill 9 one pound holiday tins with a mixture of almond, peanuts, and raisons. Almonds cost $2.45 per pound, peanuts for $1.85 per pound, and resins for $0.80 per pound. You have a budget of $15 and want the mix to have twice as much of hte nuts as the resins bu weight. How many pounds each should you purchase?
P.s. put this in 3 equation please.

I don't feel like solving it but here are the equations:
A = almond
P = peanut
R = raisin
A + P + R = 9 (weights = 9 lbs)
2.45A + 1.85P + 0.80R = 15 (cost per lb. times lbs = budget)
Here I assume by the nuts you mean peanuts and almonds together
P + A - 2R = 0 (The nuts weights = 2 of the raisins)
