A man bought two types of candies for a total of $3.49. If he bought five kilograms of the candy that costs 25 cents per kilogram, how much of the candy that costs 32 cents per kilogram did he buy?

A. 0.07 kilograms
B. 0.12 kilograms
C. 0.7 kilograms
D. 7 kilograms
E. 12 kilograms

We can create the following equation in which x = the number of kilograms of the 32-cent candy:

0.25(5) + 0.32x = 3.49

1.25 + 0.32x = 3.49

0.32x = 2.24

x = 7

A. 0.07 kilograms
B. 0.12 kilograms
C. 0.7 kilograms
D. 7 kilograms
E. 12 kilograms

Total Cost = 349 cents

The cost of candy worth 25 cents a KG = 5*25=125 cents

Remaining money = 349-125=224

Amount of candy worth 32 cents a KG = 224/32 = 7 KGs
