Answer 1

Let units sold for Caramels be x and for Popcorns be y

Particulars	Fudge	Caramels	Popcorns
Units sold	5y/9	x	y
Selling Price	9	5	10
Sales	10y/2 = 5y	5x	10y

Equation 1 5x=10y ; x=2y

Equation 2 5y/9 + x + y = 10000
5y + 9x + 9y = 90000
5y + 18y + 9y = 90000
32y = 90000
  y = 2812.50 units
Hence,

Particulars	Fudge	Caramels	Popcorns	Total
Units Sold	5y/9 = 1562.50	x = 2y = 5625	y = 2812.50	10000
Sales mix	1562.50/10000 = 15.625%	5625/10000= 56.25%	2812.50/10000= 28.125%	100.000%
