Ответ:
chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.
nd walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the price of walnuts and y the price of chocolate chips.
2x + 5y = 17(i)
8x + 3y = 34(ii)
Multiply (i) by 4 to get
8x + 20y = 68
Subtract (ii) to get
17y = 34
Dividing by 17, we see that chocolate chips are $2.00 per pound.
Substituting y=2 in (i) or (ii), walnuts must be $3.50 per pound.
