If eight pounds of macadamia nuts, priced at $6.00 per pound, are combined with twelve pounds of brazil nuts, priced at $5.00 per pound, what is the per-pound price of the resulting mixture?
A. $5.40
B. $5.25
C. $5.50
D. $5.30
E. $5.20

• 1 pound of macadamia nut=$6.00,hence 8 pound=8*6=$48.
  1 pound of brazil nut=$5.00, hence 12 pound=12*5=$60. both are combined now 20 pound of mixture are obtained. 20pound=$48+$60=$108. hence 1 pound=108/20=$5.40
