Answer by josgarithmetic(39617) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Is the mixture price closer to that of the peanuts or to that of the caramel popcorn? More peanuts.

You can also try a two part mixture calculation, but you have no specific value for the amount of the "mixture". If you do this, you can simply pick either a 1 pound or 10 pound or 100 pound mixture. Proportion will still be the same.
