0.75x + 0.5y = 25.....and she doesn't want any licorice....so x = 0
0.75(0) + 0.5y = 25
0.5y = 25
y = 25/0.5
y = 50....she can get 50 cherry candies

The correct answer among the choices provided is option B. She can buy 50 cherry candies if she wishes to spend her entire money on it. The first step to find the answer is to substitute the x value with zero. Then the equation that is used to arrive at the answer is 0.5y =25.
