A candy store sells 8-pound bags of mixed hazelnuts and cashews. If c pounds of cashews are in a bag, the price p of the bag can be found using the formula p= 2.59c + 1.72(8-c). If one bag is priced at $18.11, how many pounds of cashews does it contain

A candy store sells 8 pound bags of mixed almonds and cashews. If c pounds of cashews are in a bag,...

c=1 was already given as described. The store sells pound bags.

The rest of the description and question seem not to match. Maybe each bag contains 8 pounds of the two nuts. Eight pounds and some of this is of cashews. Now, c is how many pounds of cashews in one bag.

p=2.59%2Ac%2B1.72%288-c%29

You want to know the quantity of cashews if p=18.11 dollars per bag.

2.59c%2B1.72%2A8-1.72c=p

2.59c-1.72c=p-1.72%2A8

%282.59-1.72%29c=p-1.72%2A8

0.87c=p-13.76
