A candy store makes a 13–pound mixture of gummy bears, jelly beans, and gobstoppers. The cost of gummy bears is $1.00 per pound, jelly beans cost $2.00 per pound, and gobstoppers cost $2.00 per pound. The mixture calls for three times as many gummy bears as jelly beans. The total cost of the mixture is $20.00. How much of each ingredient did the store use? . . . 8 lbs gummy bears, 2 lbs jelly beans, 3 lbs gobstoppers. 3 lbs gummy bears, 6 lbs jelly beans, 4 lbs gobstoppers. 6 lbs gummy bears, 2 lbs jelly beans, 5 lbs gobstoppers. 8 lbs gummy bears, 3 lbs jelly beans, 2 lbs gobstoppers

Respuesta :

2 lbs of jelly beans x 3 = 6 lbs of gummy bears 

$1 x 6 lbs = $6 
$2 x 2 lbs = $4 
$2 x 5 lbs = $10 
$6 + $4 + $10 = $20 

If the mixture calls for 3 times as many gummy bears as jelly beans and the total is $20.00, 6 lbs gummy bears, 2 lbs jelly beans, 5 lbs gobstoppers would be the answer.
