Question

Choco pies are cookies made from chocolate (c), sugar (s), and flour (f). Chocolate costs $5 per pound, sugar costs $3 per pound, and flour costs $2 per pound. You spend $50 on 18 pounds of food and buy twice as much flour as sugar.

How much chocolate, sugar, and flour will you use (in pounds) in your dish

Answer 1

3 lbs of chocolate, 5 lbs of sugar, and 10 lbs of flour

Explanation:

5 * 3 = 15 (chocolate)

3 * 5 = 15 (sugar)

2 * 10 = 20 (flour)

---------------------

15 + 20 = 35

35 + 15 = 50 (dollars)

---------------------

3 + 10 + 5 = 18 (pounds)

---------------------

5 * 2 = 10 (sugar to flour)
