A store owner wants to prepare 100 lb of a candy mix that she will sell for $1.36 per lb. She mixes 20 lb of jelly beans that cost 20 cents per lb with sugar candies. How much does 1 lb of sugar candies cost?

Answer 1

cost of sugar candies ---- x cents/pound
so :
20(20) + 80(x) = 100(136)
400 + 80x = 13600
80x = 13200
x = 165 cents or $1.65

check:
20 lbs at 20 cents = 400 cents or $4.00
80 lbs at 1.65 = $132.00 , for a total of $136.00
selling price : 100 lbs at 1.36 = $136.00
