Anut mixture of walnuts and cashew nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of walnuts and $3.10 per pound of cashew nuts. over the entire day, 134 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $241.10. if p is the number walnuts and n is the number of cashew nuts, then the system of equations that models this scenario is: p+n=134p+3.10n=241.10 determine the correct description and amount of pounds for walnuts and cashew nuts that were sold.

83 pounds of walnuts and 51 pounds of cashew nuts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p be the amount of pounds for walnuts and n be the amount of pounds for  cashew nuts that were sold.

Given : A nut mixture of walnuts and cashew nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of walnuts and $3.10 per pound of cashew nuts.

Over the entire day, 134 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $241.10.

Then, system of equation represents the given situation will be :-

Eliminate (1) from (2), we get

Divide 2.10 from both sides , we get

Put value of n in (1), we get

Hence, the correct description will be : 83 pounds of walnuts and 51 pounds of cashew nuts.
