<h3>Answer:</h3>

B) 10 pounds

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Let x represent the amount of 70¢ candy to be added. The value of the mixture can be written as ...

... 90×30 + 70x = 85×(30+x) . . . . . where 30+x is the total weight of the mix

... 2700 +70x = 2550 +85x

... 150 = 15x . . . . . . add -70x-2550

... 10 = x . . . . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

10 pounds of candy at 70¢/lb must be added.
