You can put this solution on YOUR website! A Michigan orchard made 11,877 lb of Taffy apples, with approximatley 1 pound of taffy mixture for each 61.2 pounds of apples.
---
ratio is 1 taffy : 61.2 apple or x : 61.2x where x is lbs. of taffy
--------------------
Equation:
x + 61.2x = 11,877
62.2x = 11,877
x = 190.95 (# of lbs of taffy needed)
61.2x = 11.686.05 (# of lbs of apples needed)
--------------------
