[(2000 ÷ 1.4)×750.000] x 20% =

now you have (.15)0.5 lb peanuts = 0.075 lb peanuts 0.5 lb nuts 0.5 lb nuts
for every pound of 75% mixed nuts you add, you get .75 lb peanuts, how many pounds, x, do you need to add to get the ratio 50 to 100?
0.075 lb peanuts + 0.75x lb peanuts * = * 50 0.5 lb nuts + x lb nuts 100
cross multiply
(0.075 + .75x) 100 = (0.5 + x) 50 7.5 + 75x = 25 + 50x 25x = 17.5 x = 0.7 lb of 75% peanuts

To get a 50% mixture of peanuts, you should add 0.3 pounds of a mix that contains 75% peanuts to the 0.5 pound of a mix that contains 15% peanuts. ;

To achieve a 50% peanut mixture, you need to add 0.7 pounds of nuts that contain 75% peanuts to the existing 0.5 pounds of nuts that contain 15% peanuts. This ensures that the final mix has the desired concentration of peanuts. The calculations involve setting up an equation based on the mixture percentages and solving for the unknown weight to be added.
