Question 238414: A candy storesells boxes of candy containing caramels and
crèmes. Each box sells for $12.50 & holds 30
pieces of candy (all pieces are same size). If
caramels cost $0.25 to produce & crèmes cost
$0.45 to produce, how many of each should be
in a box to make a profit of $3? Answer by checkley77(12844) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .45X+.25(30-X)=12.50-3.00
.45X+7.5-.25X=9.50
.20X=9.50-7.50
.20X=2
X=2/.2
X=10 CREMES ARE USED.
30-10=20 CARAMELS ARE USED.
.45*10+.25*20=9.50
4.50+5=9.50
9.50=9.50
