A confection mixes candy wich sells for 70 cents a pound with candy worth 94 cents a pound to make 120 pounds of a mixture that sell for 81 cents a pound, how many pounds of 70 cent candy did the confectioner use?
Comments
Let x be number of pounds of 70cent candy.
70x + 94 (120-x) = 81(120)
hence x = 35
