White chocolate present = 75% that is 0.75.
The Peppermint sticks present = 25% that is 0.25x.
Therefore,
<u>Part A:</u> <em>Equation to find the number of pounds of white chocolate is </em>
c = 0.75 x ----------(1)
Where x is the total number of pounds of a candy and c is the number of pounds of white chocolate
And <em>equation to find the number of pounds Peppermint sticks is</em>
p = 0.25 x ----------(2)
Where x is the total number of pounds of a candy and p is the number of pounds Peppermint sticks.
We are given 3 pounds of peppermint sticks.
Plugging p=3 in second equation, we get
3 = 0.25 x
Dividing both sides by 0.25, we get
x= 3/0.25 = 12.
Therefore, total number of pounds of a candy = 12 pounds.
<u>Part B:</u> Plugging x = 12 in first equation c = 0.75 x to find the number of pounds of white chocolate are present in the candy.
c = 0.75 × 12 = 9 pounds.
<h3>Therefore, 9 pounds of white chocolate are present in the candy.</h3>
For this case we have the following expression:
We apply distributive property considering that:
Rewriting the expression we have:
We add similar terms taking into account that:
Equal signs are added and the same sign is placed.
Different signs are subtracted and the major sign is placed.
