Problem: 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 64 ounces of nuts , representing a mixture of both brands , and 14 ounces of the mixture are almonds , how many ounces of brand q ' s deluxe mixed nuts are used ?
Rationale: "lets say x ounces of p is mixed with q . = > 64 - x ounces of q is present in the mixture ( as the total = 64 ounces ) given total almond weight = 14 ounces ( 20 x / 100 ) + ( 25 / 100 ) ( 64 - x ) = 14 = > x = 40 = > 64 - 40 = 14 ounces of q is present in the mixture . answer is a ."
