Answer: a) $1.20 and b) $4.40.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Cost of 1 pound of cashew = $2
Cost of one pound of peanuts is 60% of the cost of one pound of cashews.
So, cost of 1 pound of peanuts is given by
[tex]\dfrac{60}{100}\times 2\\\\=0.6\times 2\\\\=\$1.2[/tex]
And the total cost of 2 pounds of peanuts and one pound of cashews would be
[tex]2\times 1.2+1\times 2\\\\=2.4+2\\\\=\$4.4[/tex]
Hence, a) $1.20 and b) $4.40.
