Answer: b) The mixture has the intended number of pounds and costs more than the intended amount.

Step-by-step explanation: At the point D, there is an equal amount of milk and dark chocolate—they each have 25 pounds. This correlates with the equation of line b: x+y=50. 25+25=50

Since the variable y is the amount of Milk Choclate and the variable x is the amount of Dark Chocloate, the equation of line a: 4x + 2y = 130 can be used. So then you plug in the amount of milk chocolate as “x” and amount of dark chocolate “y“. 4(25) + 2(25) =150.

150 is not equal to 130, so even though it has the intended number of pounds, it costs $150 instead of $130, so it costs more than the intended amount

So be is the answer

Hope this helps:)
