Question

How many pounds of each kind of candy (hard at $2 per pound, and soft at $4 per pound) must be mixed to

Answer 1

Answer:

30 pounds of hard candy and 30 pouonds of soft candy

Step-by-step explanation:

$2 per pound added with $4 per pound would become $3 per pound

x pounds plus 60 - x pounds will add up to 60 pounds

(multiply the top with the bottom)

2x + 4x = 3(60)

6x = 180

x = 30

60 - 30 = 30
