Johnnie has 25lbs of hazelnuts that sell for $6.25 a lb. If macadamia nuts sell for $9.50 a lb, how many lbs of macadamia nust should be added to the hazelnuts to obtain a mixture that will sell for $8.00 per lb.
Start
m=number of macadamia nuts
t =total
25 +m=t
6.25(25)=156.25
9.50(m)= 9.50 dollars
8.00(t)= 8.00t dollars
156.25 + 9.50=8(25+m)
156.25+9.50m= 200+8m
-8m=43.75
___ ____
-8 -8
Where Did I go wrong? Someone can I please see some steps?
