Proportionately, if they do half and half of 50% and 80% of the two bags, Bob is correct.
A proportion is a mathematical measure that compares two variables or numbers.
Proportions can be stated in percentages or ratios, as decimals or fractions.
Content of 16-ounce bag of nuts = 60% chocolate-covered nuts
Content of first bag = 50/50 plain and chocolate-covered nuts
Content of second bag = 80% chocolate-covered nuts
A mixture of half of 50% bag with half of 80% bag will result in 65% (50% + 80%)/2.
Thus, since the promise for each 16-ounce bag is for at least 60% chocolate-covered nuts, Bob is correct.
