Answer:

5.60 pounds each

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the dry mixture problem.

Let x = the number of pounds of the first type of candy

Therefore, number of pounds of second type of candy = 10-x

Value of first candy + value of second candy = value of mixture

Value of any candy = cost per pound of candy * weight of candy

Thus:

4x + 6(10 - x) = 5.60(10)

4x + 60 - 6x = 56

-2x + 60 = 56

-2x = -4

x = -4/-2

x = 2

Therefore, the number of pounds of first type of candy = 2 pounds

The number of pounds of second type of candy = 10 - 2 = 8 pounds

Check

$4(2) + $6(8) =

           8 + 48 = $5.60(10)

               $56 = $56
