Question 166267: Your friend is buying candy for his sweetie for Valentine’s Day. He decides to buy chocolate-covered almonds, peanut butter cups, and toffee crunch. The chocolate-covered almonds cost $4.50 per pound, the peanut butter cups are $1.50 per pound (he got those at Walmart), and the toffee crunch costs $3.75 per pound. Your friend decides three things:
