The right answer is Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the quantity of almonds, pecans and raisins.

One part almonds = x

Two part pecans = 2x

Three part raisins = 3x

Cost of almonds per pound = $12

Cost of x almonds = 12x

Cost of pecans per pound = $8

Cost of 2x pecans = 8(2x)

Cost of raisins per pound = $4

Cost of 3x raisins = 4(3x)

Total amount Dan has = $30

According to given statement;

12x + 8(2x) + 4(3x) = 30

Therefore,

The right answer is Option C.
