Given to us
- weight of candy mix = 100 lb,
- weight of jelly beans = 100 lb,
- Cost of jelly beans = 20 cent per lb = $0.20 per lb,
- Cost of candy mix = $1.36 per lb.
Total cost of candy mix
Total cost of candy mix = weight of candy mix [tex]\times[/tex] Cost of candy mix
[tex]= 100\ lb\times \$1.36[/tex]
Total cost of Jelly beans
Total cost of Jelly beans = weight of Jelly beans [tex]\times[/tex] Cost of Jelly beans
[tex]= 20\ lb\times \$0.20[/tex]
Weight of Sugar candies

[tex]=100\ lb - 20\ lb\\= 80\ lb[/tex]
Total cost of sugar candies
Total cost of candy mix = Total cost of jelly beans + total cost of sugar candies
[tex]100\ lb \times \$1.36 = (20\ lb \times \$0.20) + (80\ lb \times x)\\136 = 4 + (80x)\\136-4 = 80x\\132 = 80x\\x = \dfrac{132}{80}\\x =1.65[/tex]
Hence, the cost of 1 lb of sugar candies is $1.65.
