Question

A company sells snack bags that contain a mixture of almonds and walnuts. There are 13 almonds per bag and 9 walnuts per bag. If x represents the number of snack bags the company sells, which of the following equations can be used to find the total number of nuts needed to fill the snack bags? A. y = 22x B. y = 13x + 9 C. y = 9x + 13 D. y = x + 22

Answer 1

There are 13 almonds and 9 walnuts per bag so that’s 13+9=22 nuts per bag.

If there are x bags then the number of nuts is 22x.

Assuming y is the total number of nuts we get y=22x
