Sally has two bags of nuts; one with 75 % peanuts, and the other
with 16 % peanuts. To make a 8 lb bag of 31 %

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(.16x+.75(8-x))/8=.31

.16x+6-.75x=2.48

-.59x+6=2.48

-.59x=-3.52

x=5.9661, y=8-x=2.0339

I don’t know how much rounding you want but 6lb of the 16% and 2lb of the 75% is pretty close.
