Answer:

I believe the answer is C.

Explanation:

given we have peanuts to be $2 per pound, and cashews $5 per pound. If we use the equation p+c=25 then p would be (2×10=20), and c would be (5×1=5). then, to solve the problem we would do p+c=25 which p would be 20, and c would be 5, then add and it would equal 25.
