One bag of trail mix has 5 ounces of raisins and some almonds. Lon buys 3 bags of trail mix and has 48 ounces of trail mix altogether. How many ounces of almonds are in each bag of trail mix?

11 Ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of ounce of almonds in each bag=a

One bag of trail mix has 5 ounces of raisins and some almonds.

In one bag, we have (5+a) ounces in total.

Lon buys 3 bags of trail mix

Therefore in three bags, 3 (5+a) ounces altogether.

She 48 ounces of trail mix altogether.

Therefore:

3 (5+a) = 48

15+3a=48

3a=48-15

3a=33

a=11

There are 11 ounces of almond in each bag of trail mix.
