Let x be the weight of the candy in pounds, then 0.9x is the weight of the milk chocolate in pounds

The weight of the caramels in the candy is 3 pounds, so

 

An equation that can be used find the total number of pounds of milk chocolate and caramels in the candy is

0.9x + 3 = x ⇒ x = 30

So there are 0.9(30) = 27 pounds of milk chocolate in the candy.
