Question 1123742
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Let *[tex \Large x] represent the total amount of candy in pounds.  Then *[tex \Large 0.9x] lbs is the amount of chocolate and 3 lbs is the amount of caramel.  The sum of the two is the total amount of candy given that chocolate and caramel were the only two ingredients.  Hence:


*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 0.9x\ +\ 3\ =\ x]


Solve for *[tex \Large x], then calculate either *[tex \Large 0.9x] or *[tex \Large x\ -\ 3] to find the amount of chocolate in pounds.

My calculator said it, I believe it, that settles it
