Cost of peanuts = 5 per pound

Let x represents almonds

Let y represents coffee beans

Let z represent peanuts

Given is : Carlos has $30 to spend on the trail mix.

         .... (1)

Substituting in equation 1

pounds     (almonds)

Now, y = 2x, so y = pounds (coffee beans)

And z = 3x, so z = 2 pounds (peanuts)

Now checking the amounts:

Almonds : dollars

Coffee beans : dollars

Peanuts : dollars

Total amount = dollars

Therefore, the trail mix has :
