Answer:
[tex]1.49=2/x+0.014[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The nuts cost $2 per pound
Chocolate coated candies costs $0.5 per pound.
We know that we want x lb of nuts mixed with 35lb of chocolate coated candies in order to have a mixture that costs $1.49 per pound.
We must write the equation in terms of $ per pounds.
[tex]1.49=2/x+0.5/35[/tex]
[tex]1.49=2/x+0.014[/tex]
