The candy mixture contains assorted chocolate mini candy bars, which sell for $2.75$ per pound. The mixture also contains licorice drops that sell for $4.50 a pound.

Another one of these types. They are all the same except as different examples.

See a generalized solution discussion: two part mixture, price

See a typical example on video: ONE variable for two-part mixture, example----------don't let the percentage instead of price throw you off-track. They can BOTH be considered to be a form of concentration. The percentage is how many parts in 100 whole parts; and price is how much money in one whole unit of material.
