Directions:
Billy Bob owns a natural foods store which sells cashews for $\$$4.50 per pound and pecans for $\$$9.00 per pound.
Billy Bob wants to make a 50 lb mix of cashews and pecans which sells for $\$$6.00 per pound,
but he doesn't know how much of each to add.
Write a letter to Billy Bob explaining how to calculate how many pounds of cashews and how many pounds of pecans
he should mix to make a 50-lb mixture costing $\$$6.00 per pound. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.
Hint: the total dollar value of the nuts is the same before and after mixing; this is important for determining an equation you can solve.
.
As always, your explanation must be well-written, and all mathematical notation must used perfectly.
