A nut mixture of almonds and cashew nuts at a small fair is $1.00 per pound of almonds and $3.55 per pound of cashew nuts. Over the entire day, 65 pounds of the nut mixture were sold for $189.95. If p is the number almonds and n is the number of cashew nuts, then the system of equations that models this scenario is: p+n=65p+3.55n=189.95p+n=65p+3.55n=189.95 Determine the correct description and amount of pounds for almonds and cashew nuts that were sold.
