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

C = how many pounds of cashews in a bag

P=how much the cost

Solve for C

we know that P would have to be $18.11

Sub wat P = to in the equation

$18.11=2.59c+1.79 (8-c)

Start with multiplying

1.79 (8) = 14.32 (c) = 14.32c

Then add like terms

2.59c+14.32c=16.91c

Divide to get C by itself. So that 16.91 cancel itself.

16.91c/16.91c=18.11/16.91

C=1.07

I might be wrong but I tried so wateves
