Question

WRITE AN EQUATION THE REPRESENT THE SITUATION AND THEN SOLVE IT!!!

one bag of trail mix has 7 ounces of raisins and some almonds. Lon buys 4 bags of trail mix and has 60 ounces of trail mix altogether. how many ounces of almonds are in each bag.

Answer 1

If theres 7 ounces of raisins in each bag and Lon buys 4, that means theres 28 ounces of raisins in 4 bags (7x4=28)
So if theres 60 ounces in total all we gotta do is 60-28= 32
32 divided by 4= 8

8 ounces of almonds in each bag! Hope that helps
