Raisins (x) that sell for $1.60 per pound are mixed with chocolate chips (9) that sell for $2.45 per pound to make 17 pounds of a mixture. The mixture sells for $2.00 per pound. Which system of linear equations can be used to find the
amount of each ingredient in the mixture?
A)
xy - 17
1.60x + 2.45y = 34
B)
x + y - 17
1.60x + 2.45y - 34
x + y = 17
1.60x + 2.45y - 17
D)
x + y = 17
1.60x - 2.45y - 34
