How many pounds of 75 cent candy and 1.25 cent candy must be mixed to create a mixture of 9 pounds costing 96 cents per pound?
Let x = pounds of $0.75 candy, and let y = pounds of $1.25 candy.
From the question, we know the total pounds must equal 9, and the total price should be 9 pounds at $0.96 per pound. Thus the total price should be 9*0.96 = $8.64.
We can form two equations; one for total pounds, and one for total price:
x+y = 9
0.75x+1.25y = 8.64
Solve for x in the first equation: x = 9-y
Plug that into the second equation for x: 0.75(9-y) +1.25y = 8.64
Simplify: 6.75 - 0.75y + 1.25y = 8.64
More: 6.75 + 0.5y = 8.64
More: 0.5y = 1.89
Divide both sides by 0.5: y = 3.78
Plug that into the first equation: x + 3.78 = 9
Solve for x: x = 5.22
Thus, we need 5.22 pounds of $0.75 candy and 3.78 pounds of $1.25 candy.

How many pounds of candy worth 7.20 per pound must be added to 20 pounds of chocolate worth 4.80 per pound to form a mixture worth 6.20 per pound?
Suppose x pounds of candy is required. That will be worth 7.2x Then the total mass is x + 20 pounds. the total value is 7.2x + 4.8*20 = 7.2x + 96 The value per pound of the mixture is, therefore, (7.2x + 96)/(x + 20) which is 6.2 So 7.2x + 96 = 6.2x + 124 and so x = 28 pounds
