Respuesta :

Answer:

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.
