Kendall makes candles and sells them online. To make an Essential Elegance candle, she adds 3 drops of lavender and 6 drops of vanilla to a bowl of unscented wax. To make a
Garden Glory candle, she adds 4 drops of lavender and 10 drops of vanilla to the bowl
instead. Which candle has a greater ratio of lavender to vanilla?

step-by-step explanation:

step-by-step explanation:

let x and 400 - x be the two numbers.  

==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68 from the statement of the problem.  

< ==> 0.80x + 0.85(400 - x) = 400 - 68  

==> 340 - 0.05x = 332  

< ==> -0.05x = -8 ==> x = 160, the first number ==> 400 - x = 240, the second number.
