a bowl of nuts is prepared for a party . brand p mixed nuts are 20 % almonds and brand q ' s deluxe nuts are 25 % almonds . if a bowl contains a total of 65 ounces of nuts , representing a mixture of both brands , and 15 ounces of the mixture are almonds , how many ounces of brand q ' s deluxe mixed nuts are used ?
lets say x ounces of p is mixed with q . = > 65 - x ounces of q is present in the mixture ( as the total = 65 ounces ) given total almond weight = 15 ounces ( 20 x / 100 ) + ( 25 / 100 ) ( 65 - x ) = 15 = > x = 25 = > 65 - 25 = 40 ounces of q is present in the mixture . answer is d .
