A candy shop sells a box of chocolates for $30. It has $29 worth of chocolates plus $1 for the box. The box includes two kinds of candy: caramels and truffles. Lita knows how much the different types of candies cost per pound and how many pounds are in a box. She said, "If x is the number of pounds of caramels included in the box and y is the number of pounds of truffles in the box, then I can write the following equations based on what I know about one of these boxes":
x+y=3
8x+12y+1=30
What does the term 12y in the second equation represent?
