Answer:

$4.20 - one pound of walnuts

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to divide 51 dollars by 6 pounds of almonds to figure out how much money a pound of almonds costs.

$51/6 = $8.50

Now, you want to multiply $8.50 by 4 pounds.

$8.50 x 4 = $34

Now you want to subtract the whole price which is $55 by $34

$55-$34 = $21

Now you want to divide $21 by 5 pounds.

$21/5 = $4.20

So that is $4.20 for one pound of walnuts.

You can plug in these numbers if you want to double-check:

1 pound of Almonds = $8.50    1 pound of Walnuts = $4.20
