Answer:

3 pounds of pecans and 0.5 pound of cashews

2.5 pounds of pecans and 1 pound of cashews

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

  • Malik can spend no more than $24 to buy pecans and cashews.
  • Malik wants to buy at least 3 pounds of nuts.
  • Cost of pecans = $6 per pound
  • Cost of cashews = $8 per pound

Define the variables:

Let x = number of pounds of pecans Malik can buy

Let y = number of pounds of cashews Malik can buy

Create a system of inequalities from the given information:

  • 6x + 8y ≤ 24
  • x + y ≥ 3

Graph the inequalities (see attached)

The possible solutions are any points enclosed by the shaded area where x > 0 and y > 0.

Therefore, two possible combinations are:

  • 3 pounds of pecans and 0.5 pound of cashews
  • 2.5 pounds of pecans and 1 pound of cashews
