Acandy store sells boxes of candy containing caramels and cremes. each box sells for $12.50 and hold 30 pieces of candy (all pieces are the same size). if the caramels cost $0.25 to produce and the cremes cost $0.45 to produce, how many of each should be in the box to yield a profit of $3 dollars?

Number of caramels = 20

number cremes = 30 - 20 = 10

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Selling cost of each box = $12.50

Number of pieces of candies held in a box = 30

Cost of producing caramel = $0.25

Cost of producing cremes = $0.45

Now,

let the number of caramels be 'x'

Thus,

Number of cremes = 30 - x

Profit = Selling price - Cost

3 = $12.50 - [ 0.25x + 0.45(30 - x) ]

or

[ 0.25x + 0.45(30 - x) ] = 12.50 - 3

or

0.25x + 13.5 - 0.45x = 9.50

or

-0.20x = 9.50 - 13.5

or

-0.20x = - 4

or

x = 20

Hence,

Number of caramels = 20

number cremes = 30 - 20 = 10

the answer is: c.that person might be arrested and deported

filling w-4 form incorrectly usually would rise suspicions from government's auditors. when they notice such mistakes, they would send their teams to investigate the situation further.

if those investigation teams believe that the incorrectness is done on purpose (with malicious intent), that person can be arrested or deported

b is the correct answer
