Use a system of equations to solve this problem. hunter needs 10 oz of a snack mix that is made up of seeds and dried fruit. the seeds cost $1.50 per ounce and the dried fruit costs $2.50 per ounce. the 10 oz snack mix costs $2.20 per ounce. let x = the amount of seeds. let y = the amount of dried fruit. how much of each snack should hunter purchase to satisfy the scenario? enter your answers in the boxes. of seeds of dried fruit don't answer just for points!

X = amount of seeds.

y = amount of dried fruits.

we know the snack mix contains both, and we know is 10oz, thus x + y = 10, whatever ounces "x" and "y" are.

how much is it for "x" ounces if each one costs $1.5?  well is just 1.5*x or 1.5x.

how much is it for "y" ounces if each one costs $2.5?  well is just 2.5*x or 2.5x.

the mix contains 10 ounces, each of which costs $2.2 each, how much will it be then for 10 oz?  well, is just 10 * 2.2, or $22.

since the whole 10 oz snack mix costs 22 bucks, then 1.5x + 2.5y = 22.



how many ounces of dried fruit is there anyway?  well, y = 10 - x.
