Answer:

49%

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find 55% of 9 pounds.

55% = 0.55

9 × 0.55 = 4.95

Next, find 40% of 6 pounds.

40% = 0.4

6 × 0.4 = 2.4

Add the two values together.

4.95 + 2.4 = 7.35

Find the percentage 7.35 is of the total weight (15 pounds).

7.35/15 = 0.49

0.49 = 49%

49% of the new mixture is peanuts.
