A pound of raisins costs $2.00, and a pound of almonds costs $5.00. Six pounds of a trail mix contains 2 more pounds of raisins than almonds. What is the cost of the 6 pounds of trail mix? O $7.00 O $18.00 O $24.00 O $42.00

Since we know there are 6 pounds of trail mix and contains 2 more pounds of raisins then almonds, we can conclude that 4 of the pounds would be raisins, since all we have to do to figure this out is 2×2 (the $2 for a pound and multiply 2 more pounds) And with the leftover 2 pounds, the rest would be almonds. So, now all we have to do is multiply the money with the pounds, then add the two products to get out answer.

$5×2=10$

$2×4=8$

10$+8$=18$

So, $18 is the answer.

A pound of raisins costs $2.00, and a pound of almonds costs $5.00. Six pounds of a trail mix contains 2 more pounds of raisins than almonds. What is the cost of the 6 pounds of trail mix? O $7.00 O $18.00 O $24.00 O $42.00​
