Quality Grocer makes its own bulk "trail mix" by mixing raisins and peanuts. The wholesale cost of raisins is $3.75 per kg and the cost of peanuts is $2.89 per kg. To the nearest 0.1 kg, what amounts of peanuts and raisins should be mixed to produce 50 kg of trail mix with an effective wholesale cost of $3.20 per kg?
