Question

A grocer is mixing M & M's worth $2.40 per pound with almonds worth $1.40 per pound to obtain a 25 pound mixture. If the grocer is charging $2.00 per pound for the mixture, how many pounds of M & M's are in the mixture?

a. 10 pounds
b. 13 pounds
c. 15 pounds
d. 12.5 pounds
e. None of the above

Answer 1

Go with A and hope for the best sorry i am a little drunk to do all the math but my drunkness tells me it's A.

Answer 2

This is a mixture problem with the answer 15.

Call A the pounds of almonds and M the pounds of M&Ms
The mixture is 1.4A + 2.4M = (2)(25)
The weights are A+M=25 pounds and that makes M=25-A

So 1.4A+2.4(25-A)=50
Solving that you get A= 10 pounds and M=25-A = 15 pounds of M&Ms.

Answer 3

Put yourself on a 2000 calorie diet. Eat five times a day every 2-3 hours eating about 400 calories per meal. Measure everything according to serving size on nutrition label. Excercise and don't over-do it. Eat protein and make sure you have wheat products (wheat bread, English muffins ect) brown rice, beans, protein (chicken) and veggies and occasionally fruit but stay away from a lot of it because its high in sugar. Good luck!!
