Money divided by Pounds.

Are you given how many pounds of each candy? If no, then give variables to each.
x pounds of the 0.49 dollar/pound candy and y pounds of the 0.60 dollar/pound candy.

Cost? 0.49x+0.60y dollars
Pounds of mixture? x+y pounds

The cost PER POUND of the mixture would be dollars per pound.
