A candy store sells malted milk balls for $2.50 per pound, and chocolate-covered raisins for $3.75 per pound. How many pounds of each should be used to make a 10 pound mixture that sells for $3.00 per pound?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "MM Ball DATA:
\n" ); document.write( " amount=x lbs ; value=2.5x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "CC Raisin DATA:
\n" ); document.write( " amount=10-x lbs ; value= 3.75(10-x)= 37.5-3.75x dollars
\n" ); document.write( "Mix DATA:
\n" ); document.write( " amount=10 lbs ; value= 3(10)= 30 dollars\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "value + value = value
\n" ); document.write( "2.5x + 37.5-3.75x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "-3.75x=-10
\n" ); document.write( " x= 2.667 lbs (amount of MM Balls)
\n" ); document.write( "10-x=7.333 lbs (amount of CC Raisins)\r
