Answer 1

Hello Jsurginer2000otz2ik, it would be reasonable to say that the mixture could contain 6 ounces of blue jelly beans and 4 ounces of red jelly beans because they want a price of $ 3.08 per bag, so $ 0.27*6=1.62 and $ 0.44 * 4 ounces = 1.76. add them and it comes out to  $ 3.38 which is equivalent to 3.08 but if its not the answer your looking for just say so i can correct myself.
