  12 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

One quantity is asked for, so it is convenient to let a variable represent that. We can use x to represent pounds of chocolate. Then the total cost of the mix is ...

  19.30·x + 3.50·18 = 9.82·(x +18) . . . . cost of chocolate + cost of trail mix

  9.48·x = 113.76 . . . . . . simplify, subtract 63+9.82x

  113.76/9.48 = x = 12 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x

The owner needs to mix 12 pounds of chocolate. (no rounding necessary)

 12 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Use Quantity x Cost. Create a table (multiply across and add down)

  (x + 18)(9.82) = 19.30x + 63

9.82x + 176.76 = 19.30x + 63          distributed 9.82 into x+18

             176.76 = 9.48x + 63         subtracted 9.82x from both sides

             113.76 = 9.48x                 subtracted 63 from both sides

                   12 = x                     divided both sides by 9.48

x = 25/2304
