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
The text passage contains a mathematical question in the form of a word problem, but it lacks sufficient information to provide a specific answer. The responder points out the insufficiency and provides examples of possible solutions.
