How many pounds in the mixture?

Question

A lady has a candy shop she wants to create a mixture of chocolates and nuts. Normally she sells the chocolates for $1.00 per pound and nuts for$2.00 per pound she wants to create a mixture for $1.30 per pound and she wants to make 100 pounds of the mixture, but also wants income ea3to be equal to what it would be if she sold them separately

Answer 1

100(1.30) = x(1.00) + (100-x)(2.00)

130 = x-2x +200

x = 70 lbs of $1 chocolates

100-x = 30 lbs of $2 nuts

130-100 = 30

200-130 = 70

they should be in a 70/30 ratio = 70 lb/30 lb
