  There's not enough info here, as there must be more to it to solve.
  
  Without further information, there are infinite answers.  All we know is that
  
  p = 2n
  
  where p = ounces of pretzels
  
  and n = ounces of nuts
  
  So, for example, there could be:
  
  4 ounces nuts, 8 ounces pretzels
  
  or 5 oz. nuts and 10 pretzels
  
  or 20 oz nuts and 40 pretzels
