Question 1092019
Each chocolate candy costs 4 quarters. Each caramel candy costs 3 quarters.
A set of 2 chocolate candies and 5 caramel candies would cost
{{{2*4+5×3=8+15=23}}} quarters.
 
{{{"$27.90"}}} is not an integer number of quarters,
so we can eliminate that answer right away.
 
{{{"$15"=15*4quarters=60quarters}}} is not a multiple of {{{23quarters}}} ,
so that is not the answer either.
 
{{{"$17.25"=17.25*4quarters=69quarters=3*23quarters}}} could be the total cost of a bag of candies with chocolate and caramel candies in a 2:5 ratio.
 
I would stop checking there , because I expect multiple choice questions to have just one right answer, but we can check the remaining answer choice too.
 
{{{"$19.50"=19.50*4quarters=58quarters}}} is not a multiple of {{{23quarters}}} ,
so it is not a correct answer.
