A wholesale store advertises that for $20 you can buy one

A wholesale store advertises that for $20 you can buy one pound each of peanuts, cashews, and almonds. Cashews cost as much as peanuts and almonds combined. You purchase 2 pounds of peanuts, 1 pound of cashews, and 3 pounds of almonds for $36. What is the price per pound of each type of nut? (See Example 4.)
