Question 432650: A grocery store sells certain candies in bulk. The Good and Plenty costs $2.49 per pound ans Sweet Treats cost $2.89 per pound. If Jane Stranges takes 3 scoops of Good and Plenty and mixes it with 5 scoops of Sweet Treats, How much per pound should the mixture sell for? Assume each scoop contained the same weight of the candy. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! To get a balanced price we value each part and divide it by the total, thus:
P=3(2.49)+5(2.89)/3+5
"=7.47+14.45/8
"=2.74
--------------
Our mixture should be priced at $2.74 per pound.
