Question 283484
<b><i> Set for just two ingredients </i></b><br>
A larger output quantity will allow us to narrow in on the desired selling price easier, so we will do a total of 25 lbs. <br>
Using only two ingredients, Candies B & D:<ul> 
<li>{{{ 4.95(x) + 1.50(25-x) = 3.95(25) }}}
<li>{{{ 4.95x + 37.5 - 1.5x = 98.75 }}}
<li>{{{ 3.45x + 37.5 = 98.75 }}}
<li>{{{ 3.45x / 3.45 = 61.25 / 3.45 }}} </ul>
x = 17.75 lbs of candy B
25 - 17.75 = 7.25 lbs of candy D
