Answer:

20% peanuts are there in the mixture of nuts.

Explanation:

Total weight of the mixture =25 lbs(10+15)

In the 25 lbs mixture of nuts, 68 % is peanuts, therefore finding the total weight of peanuts.

68 % of 25 lbs= 17 lbs.

There is a total 17 lbs of peanuts in the mixture .

15 lbs of peanuts was exclusively added, therefore the rest 2 lbs must have come from the mixture of nuts.

Therefore, there is a total of 2 lbs of peanuts in 10 lbs of mixture of nuts.


(2)/(10) *100 =20 %

20% peanuts are there in the mixture of nuts.
