Question 500696
Let {{{x}}} = pounds of the $7.33 candy needed
given:
{{{ (7.33x + 5.45*11) / ( x + 11 ) = 6.14 }}}
{{{ 7.33x + 59.95  = 6.14x + 67.54 }}}
{{{ 1.19x = 7.59 }}}
{{{ x = 6.38 }}}
6.38 pounds of the $7.33 candy are needed
check answer:
{{{ (7.33*6.38 + 5.45*11) / ( 6.38 + 11 ) = 6.14 }}}
{{{ (46.75 + 59.95) / 17.38 = 6.14 }}}
{{{ 106.7 / 17.38 = 6.14 }}}
{{{ 6.14 = 6.14 }}}
OK
