Answer 3

...Very helpful, Matthew.

Anyhooo, to find this, you need to find the ratio of Chocolate-covered pretzels to gumdrops. $0.89 / pound, and $0.65 / pound. If we have 1.8 pounds ands $1.29 total, how many pounds (or less, hint hint) are in the bag?

For the p ratio, p is equal to the weight of chocolate. If we want to subtract that from our total, 1.8, we can simply do C. 1.8 - p
