Answer:

We know that the box has:

0.6lb of caramels

3.6lb of coconut.

Then the total mass of candy in the box is:

0.6lb + 3.6lb = 4.2lb

This is the 100% of the box.

Now, we can write this as:

4.2lb = 100%

For example, if we want to know which percentage is caramels, we write the equation:

0.6lb = X

We want to find the value of X

Then we have two equations:

0.6lb = X

4.2lb = 100%

Let's take the quotient of these two equations:

(0.6lb/4.2lb) = X/100%

Now we can solve this for X:

(0.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = X = 14.3%

the caramels represent the 14.3% of the wheight of the box.

And for the coconut candy, we have the relation:

3.6lb = Y

Now let's do the same again, we start with the two equations:

3.6lb = Y

4.2lb = 100%

Take the quotient:

(3.6lb/4.2lb) = Y/100%

Solve for Y:

(3.6lb/4.2lb)*100% = Y = 85.7%

Now we found the percentage that represent each type of candy in the box.
