Let the Trading Begin!

Every year on Halloween we go out looking for our favorite candy. What is your favorite candy? More importantly what is it worth to you. What would you trade in order to get your favorite? Consider this problem: If 3 lollipops count the same as 2 peanut butter cups, and you have 12 lollipops, how many peanut butter cups can you trade them for? Bonus: If someone offers you 10 peanut butter cups for 18 of your lollipops, are you getting enough candy in return for your loot? If this doesn't work for you devise your own trade using your own favorite candies. Source:http://bedtimemathproblem.org/
