Amt. Of candy A (jaw breakers) to full container

Volume of container ÷ Volume of Candy A
= 3600cm ÷ 262.2
= 13 .4(round off to the nearest tenth)
= 14 candies
Cost for candy A to fill container cost of 1 candy × total amount of

Amt. Of candy B (bobby) to fill container = 3600 ÷ 33.5

Volume of container ÷ volume of candy B = 107 candies

Cost for candy B to fill the container = $2.00 ×107

cost of 1 candy × total amount of candy = $214.00

Volume of container ÷ Volume of Candy C = 31.8 candy (round off to nearest tenth)

Cost for candy C to fill the container $6.50 × 32

cost of 1 candy × total amount of candy = $ 208

TOTAL money spent to buy sweets = candy A + Candy B + Candy C

77 + 214 + 208 = $499.00
All cost stayed within the $500 budget

Increase total cost ÷ original cost × 100 =300 %

Fig 2 300% increase in cost for candy A and Candy B

To find total cost of tickets sold to make profit of 300%

Total price ÷ price per ticket 231 ÷ 2 = 115.5

To find out how many tickets was sold for candy A

Cost of tickets sold ÷ cost per ticket = amt.of tickets sold 115.5 ÷ 2 = 57.8 (round off to the nearest

Amt of tickets sold = 59 tickets tenth)

To find total cost of tickets sold to make profit of 300% for Candy A

Total price ÷ price per ticket 231 ÷ 2 = 115.5

To find total cost of tickets sold to make profit of 300% for Candy B

Total price ÷ price per ticket = total cost for tickets sold 642 ÷ 2 = $321

To find out how many tickets was sold

Cost of tickets sold ÷ cost per ticket = amt. of tickets sold 321 ÷ 2 = 160.5 (round off to the nearest

Amt of tickets sold =161 tickets tenth)

Fig 3 Amt and cost of total tickets sold for Candy A and B
To find difference in cost of candies with 300% profit

Total cost of Candy B – Total cost of Candy A $642 – 231 = $411

Candy A will be the candy of choice to be used in the raffle since the total cost to fill the same size
container with a 300% profit when compared to candy B would be LESS. Also, by using candy A for the
raffle less candies would be use. Less tickets would also have to be sold if Candy A was used compared
to Candy B so quicker which would limit the sellers from looking to participate in the raffle process
