In a box of mixed nuts, the total number of almonds, cashews and peanuts is 1025.
The ratio of almonds to cashews is 1 : 3.
The ratio of cashews to peanuts is 5 : 7.

Calculate the number of cashews in the box.

Answer :

Step-by-step explanation:

let no. of almonds be a,

cashews be b

and peanut be c

Now , a+b+c = 1025.......eqn.1

also, a:b = 1:3, a = b/3

b:c= 5:7, c= 7b/5

putting values in eqn 1 ,

b/3+b+ 7b/5= 1025

on taking LCM..

41b/15= 1025

b = no. of cashew nuts = 375
