A store sells nuts in 8 ounce cans and 12 ounce cans. On Monday, the store sold 8 containers of each size of nuts. How many pounds of nuts did the store sell on Monday?

A. 14 pounds
B. 10 pounds
C. 20 pounds
D. 4 pounds

Answer :

Answer: B

Explanation:

1 lb. = 16 ounces

Step 1. Multiply the weight of the two different cans by 8.

12 • 8 = 96

8 • 8 = 64

Step 2. Add the sums of each equation together.

96 + 64 = 160

Step 3. Divide 160 by 16 to get your answer

160/16 = 10
