A candy store makes a 13-pound mixture of gummy candy, jelly beans, and hard candy. The cost of gummy candy is $1.00 per pound, jelly beans cost $2.00 per pound, and hard candy costs $2.00 per pound. The mixture calls for three times as many
gummy candy pieces as jelly beans. The total cost of the mixture is $20.00. How much of each ingredient did the store use?

answer: solve 5\cdot 2^x=2405⋅2  

x

=2405, dot, 2, start superscript, x, end superscript, equals, 240.

solution

to solve for xxx, we must first isolate the exponential part. to do this, divide both sides by 555 as shown below. we do not multiply the 555 and the 222 as this goes against the order of operations!

\begin{aligned} 5\cdot 2^x& =240 2^x& =48 \\ \end{aligned}
