Answer:
<em>The new mixture is 49% peanuts.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
The first batch of 9 lb of mixed nuts contains 55% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:
9*55/100=4.95 lb
The second batch of 6 lb of mixed nuts contains 40% peanuts. This means the quantity of peanut is:
6*40/100=2.4 lb
The total quantity of peanut in the mix is
4.95 lb + 2.4 lb =7.35 lb
There are 9 lb + 6 lb = 15 lb of mix. Thus, the percent of peanut in the mix is:
7.35 / 15 * 100 = 49%
The new mixture is 49% peanuts.

Answer:
Almond: $7/4 per pound
Jelly Bean: $ 11/4 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
A: almond
J: jelly bean
3A + 5J = 19 .... multiply 9 each side
27A + 45J = 171 .....(1)
9A + 7J = 35 .....multiply 3 each side
27A + 21J = 105 ....(2)
(1) - (2) 24J = 66
J = 66/24 = 11/4
3A + 5 x 11/4 = 19
3A = 21 / 4
A = 7/4
