Punchline Worksheet: What was the goat doing at the amusement park? ?



Anyone know what the answer is? Or how to do the problems?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Here’s one of the questions:

Going Nuts, Inc., sells cashews for $7 per pound and almonds for $4 per pound. How many pounds of each should be combined to get 15 pounds of a mixture worth $5 per pound?

HELP!

If you need a total of 15 pounds at $5 per pound, multiply the two numbers to figure out the value of the 15 pounds of mixture:

15 * 5 = 75

So, you’re looking to make $75 worth of mixture.

5 pounds of cashews at $7 a pound costs $35
10 pounds of almonds at $4 a pound costs $40

Therefore 5 pounds of cashews plus 10 pounds of almonds will yield 15 pounds of mixed nuts for a total cost of $75 (which works out to $5 a pound).
