Question 1092019
<br>If the ratio has to be 2:5, then we can think of buying the candies in "units" consisting of 2 chocolate candies and 5 caramel candies.  The cost of one of those units will be
{{{2(1.00)+5(0.75) = 2.00+3.75 = 5.75}}}<br>
A bit of arithmetic shows that the only answer choice that is a multiple of this "unit price" is $17.25, answer B.
