Question

Here are 180 candies in a candy shipment. There are Gobs, Blobs, and Toffees. The bage are made in ratio of 4:2:3 of Gobs, to Blobs to Toffees.

Gobs cost $1.50 each, and blobs cost $2.50 each.
The total cost of all the candy shipment is $430. What is the cost for each toffee?

Answer 1

The answer to the cost for each toffee is given below:

Explanation:

The computation of the cost for each toffee is shown below:

Given that

There are a total 180 candies hat includes three types in a ratio of 4:2:3

Gobs = 4 ÷ 9 × 180 = 80

Blobs = 2 ÷ 9 × 180 = 40

Toffees = 3 ÷ 9 × 180 = 60

Now the total cost of all the candies shipment is $430

So,

The equation would be

80 × $1.50 + 40 × $2.50 + 60 × per cost = $430

120 + 150 + 60 × per cost = $430

60 × per cost = $430 - $120 - $150

60 × per cost = $160

Per cost is $2.67

So for toffees it would be 160
