You need the constant ratio of almonds to chocolate. If k is that constant, the proportional relationship is

y = kx,

where k = (ounces of almonds in a package) ÷ (ounces of dark chocolate in the same package).

For example, if one package has 5 oz almonds and 3 oz dark chocolate, k = 5/3 and the equation is y = (5/3)x. Provide the actual amounts from a package and I’ll give the simplified equation.
