--------------

Let amt. of nuts be "x" lbs ; value is 3.60x dollars

-------------

Amt of fruit is "10-x" lbs ; value is 2.4(10-x) = 24-2.4x dollars

----------------------

Amt of mix is 10 lbs ; value is 3.3*10= 33 dollars

------------------------

EQUATION:

value + value = 33 dollars

3.6x + 24-2.4x = 33

1.2x = 9

x = 7.5 lbs (amt of nuts in the mix)

10-x = 2.5 lbs (amt of fruit in the mix)
