How many pounds of caramels and candy corn did Glen buy?
0.8 pounds of caramels; 0.9 pounds of candy corn
0.9 pounds of caramels; 0.8 pounds of candy corn

Answer 4

Since you are given choices, you can take each choice, multiply the weight of each candy by its unit price. Add the two prices together, and find which will give you the total the problem tells you.

Answer 5

x = 1.7 - y
0.95(1.7 - y) + 0.79y = 1.48
1.615 - 0.95y + 0.79y = 1.48
-0.16y = -0.135
y = 0.84375 pountds, rounded to 0.8

Answer 6

x = 1.7 - y
x = 1.7 - (0.8)
x = 0.9
