<PRE><B>Question 519280</B>
Let
Candy Type 1 = x pounds
Candy Type 2 = 1000-x pounds

Cost of Type 1 * Amount of Type 1 + Cost of Type 2 * Amount of Type 2 = Cost of Mixture * Amount of Mixture

2*x + 0.75 * (1000-x) = 1000 * 1.35
2x + 750 - 0.75x = 1350
1.25x = 1350 - 750
1.25x=600
1.25x/1.25=600/1.25
x=480

Candy Type 1 = x  = 480 pounds
Candy Type 2 = 1000-x = 1000- 480 = 520 pounds


480 of type 1 and 520 of type 2 should be used in the mixture.
