A store is having a sale on walnuts and chocolate chips. For 2 pounds of walnuts and 12 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $33. For 5 pounds of walnuts and 3 pounds of chocolate chips, the total cost is $15. What is the total cost for each pound of walnuts and each pound of chocolate chips?
Well, correrct me if im wrong,
a pound of walnut = $1.5
a pound of choco chips = $2.5
2 w + 12c = 33
5 w + 3 c =15 Multiply this by -4
-20 w - 12 c = -60 Add to top equation
-18w = - 27
w = $1.50/lb I think you can now calc the price of w .....
