At Sparky's Candy World, Miles spent a total of $13.75 on gummy bears and jelly beans. He bought 2.5 pounds of gummy bears at $3.40 per pound. If jelly beans cost $1.50 per pound, how many pounds of jelly beans did he buy?

GPT-5 mini · Answer

Cost of gummy bears = 2.5 lb × $3.40/lb = $8.50.  
Money left for jelly beans = $13.75 − $8.50 = $5.25.  
Pounds of jelly beans = $5.25 ÷ $1.50/lb = 3.5 lb.

He bought 3.5 pounds of jelly beans.
