As usual the bot's answer of course is WRONG.
Just stating an answer without the steps, as the bot is doing,
is absolutely useless for students.
Let the number of kg of the $8 nuts be x
then the number of kg of the $7 nuts must be 8-x
8x + 7(8-x) = 8(7.25)
8x + 56 - 7x = 58
x = 2
So he needs 2 kg of the $8 nuts, and 6 kg of the $7 nuts
