Marion is making trail mix for a group camping trip. She buys 3 pounds of granola for $3 per pound, and 0.75 pounds of raisins for $2 per pound. The equation 3(3) + 0.75(2) = (3 + 0.75)x models the situation, where x is the price per pound of the trail mix. What is the price of the trail mix


BTW THE ANSWER IS 2.80

Respuesta :

Price per pound of the mix = (3 x 3 + 2 x 0.75) ÷ (3 + 0.75) = $2.80

Answer: $2.80
$11.66, because 3(3) = 9, .75(2) = 2.66, therefore it is $11.66
