    Almonds = 5 and 3/5 pounds Pecans = 8 and 2/5 pounds 8+5=13 3/5+2/5 = 5/5 (=1) 13+1 = 14

    Step-by-step explanation:

    14 pounds at $4.80 = $ 67.20

    A=almonds P = pecans

    a+p = 14 p = (14-a)

    5.25A + 4.50 (14-A) = 67.20

    5.25A + 63 - 4.5A = 67.20

    0.75A = 4.20

    A=5.6 P = 14-5.6 = 8.4

    Almonds 5.6*5.25 = 29.4

    Pecans 8.4 * 4.50 = 37.8

    29.4 + 37.8 = 67.20
