Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For every five pounds of fudge sold, one pound is Marshmallow, and the other four pounds are split evenly between Plain and Peanut. So, for every 5 pounds sold, 2 pounds are Plain and 2 pounds are Peanut. Therefore, the sales mix percentages are: 
- Marshmallow: 1/5 or 20% 
- Plain: 2/5 or 40% 
- Peanut: 2/5 or 40%
Since we want to find the sales mix percentage of Peanut, which is 2/5 or 40%. Hence, the answer is B.
