A grocery store wants to make and sell 40 pounds of a mixture consisting of candy bears and candy worms they already have in stock. Candy bears cost $2.25 per pound and candy worms cost $3.85 per pound. The store plans to sell the candy mix they make for the price of $3.45 per pound. Using b for the number of pounds of candy bears and w for the number of pounds of candy worms, select the two equations that represent the candy mix they are creating. A B с D 2.25b +3.85w 40(3.45) = 3.85b+2.25w=40(3.45) 3.85b +2.25w = 40 b+w=40
