A candy store wants to create a mix of two hard candies. One is priced at $5.45 per pound, and the other is priced a $7.33 per pound. How many pounds of the $7.33 candy should be mixed with 11 pounds of the $5.45 candy to sell the mixture for $6.14 per pound.

Solve and explain please. 
Also make an equation first. Thanks.
