A candy mix sells for $2.20 per kilogram. It contains chocolates worth $1.80 per kilogram and other candy worth $3.00 per kilogram. How much of each are in the 15 kilograms of the mixture?

Let amount of chocolate, be C, and amount of other candy, V
\n" );
document.write( "Then: C + V = 15 ------- C = 15 – V ------- eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "Also, C(1.8) + V(3) = 15(2.2)_____1.8C + 3V = 33 ------ eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "1.8(15 – V) + 3V = 33 ------- Substituting 15 – V for C in eq (ii)
\n" );
document.write( "  27 – 1.8V + 3V = 33 
\n" );
document.write( "      – 1.8V + 3V = 33 – 27
\n" );
document.write( "                 1.2V = 6
\n" );
document.write( "V, or amount of other candy in 15 kg mixture = \"6%2F1.2\", or \"highlight_green%285%29\" kg
\n" );
document.write( "C = 15 – 5 ------- Substitute 5 for V in eq (i)
\n" );
document.write( "C, or amount of chocolate in 15 kg mixture = \"highlight_green%2810%29\" kg
\n" );
document.write( "You can do the check!!
