Part A:
If 25% is dark chocolate and the rest is milk chocolate then, dark + milk = all
25% + milk chocolate= 100%
Subtract 25% from both sides and 100 minus 25 is 75 so, milk chocolate is 75% of all the chocolate.
Now, if there is 3 pounds of milk chocolate then 3 pounds= 75%.
You would divide by 3 so, 75 divided by 3 is 25.
1 pound or lb= 25% which us the amount of dark chocolate that there is.
Now, we know that there milk chocolate is 75% and dark chocolate is 25% of all the chocolate.
M= pounds of milk chocolate
D= dark chocolate
Equation: m divided by d or m/d= 75 divided by 25 or 75/25 or m/d=3 and m=3
3 divided by d or 3/d=3
3=3d
D=1
Part B:
There is 1 pound of dark chocolate in the candy.
Hope this helps! :)
