Answer:

  • chocolate: 6 pounds
  • jelly: 4 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of pounds of chocolate in the mix. Then the total price of 10 pounds of mix is ...

  10x +5(10 -x) = 80

  5x +50 = 80

  5x = 30

  x = 6 . . . . . . . . pounds of chocolate

  10 -x = 4 . . . . . pounds of jelly candy

6 pounds of chocolate and 4 pounds of jelly should be used to make the mixture.
