Answer:
8 pounds of cheaper candy,
17.5 pounds of expensive candy
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's define some variables. Let's say the amount of pounds of candy that sells for $2.20/lb is x, and the $7.30 is y. Now we can write some equations!
x + y = 25.5

We can start substitution. We can say that x = 25.5 - y. Plugging this into our second equation, we get:
y = 17.5
Plugging this in, we find that:
x = 8.
1. 28p + 32
2. - 56s - 14
3. 48d - 24
