Acandy store charges $12 per pound for truffles and $8 per pound for caramels. how much of each kind of candy should they put in a 3-pound gift box that will cost $29?

1.25 pounds truffles + 1.75 pounds caramels

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 8 ( 3-x) = 29  

12x +24 -8x = 29  

4x = 5  

x = 5/4

1.25 X 12 = $15.00  

1.75 X 8 = $ 14.00  

$15.00 + $14.00 = $29.00

explanation:

previous steps have made pa≅ pb ≅ st ≅ su. setting the compass width to ab allows you to make tu the same length. then δstu ≅ δpab by the sss congruence postulate, and ∠p ≅ ∠s by the reason cpctc.
