A candy store merchant sells 25kg ju-jubes for $3.00/kg. If he uses one brand selling for $2.25/kg and a second brand selling at $3.75/kg, how much of each brand is required?



Answer :

let's say he has 1 kg of each
2.25/kg and 3.75/kg
add together and divide by 2 to get average
6/2=3

so it must be a one to one ratio

25 kg/2=12.5 kg of each



12.5 of each brand
