Answer:
x = 3 oz of seeds
y = 7 oz of seeds
Step-by-step explanation:
1. x + y = 10 oz (total amount of snack mix in ounces; oz)
2. $1.50x + $2.50y = $22 (how much the seeds and dried fruit costs)
3. Solve the system of equations using algebra.
$1.50 x + $1.50y = $15
$1.50 x + $2.50y = $22
There are $1.50x's in both of the equations, so cancel them out.
Subtract $2.50y by $1.50y and $22 by $15. y = 7
4. Plug in the y value in one of the equations.
x + 7 = 10; x = 3
