The cost of one pound of peanuts is 60% of the cost of one pound of cashews. If one pound of cashews costs $2, what is the cost of one pound of peanuts? What is the total cost of two pounds of peanuts and one pound of cashews?

Respuesta :

Based on the given problem above, this would appear that,
one pound of peanuts = 0.60*2 = $1.2
one pound of cashews = $2
Therefore, the cost of one pound of peanuts is $1.2.
The total cost of two pounds of peanuts and one pound of cashews would be this: 1.2 + 1.2 + 2 = $4.4
Hope this answers your question. 

Answer:

$1.2

$4.4
