Question

Which equation best represents the following situation?
A 10 pound box of chocolates from Chocolate to Go contains a mixture of their $2.50 per pound Dark Chocolate and their 3.25 per pound cashew cluster. How many pounds of each will be in the box if it cost $16?



2.50x + 3.25(10 - x) = 16

2.50(10) + 3.25x = 16

2.50x + 3.25(10) = 16

2.50(x) + 3.25(16) = 10x

Answer 1

2.50x + 3.25(10 - x) = 16

Answer 2

the total cost so it has to = 16
if you find x about for the 2.50 and there is a total of 10 pounds then you need to subtract x from 10 for 3.25 multiply all that and add...

Answer 3

*the total cost is 16 so it has to =16
