Answer:

Jelly Bean price per pound = $3.25, Trail Mix price per pound = $1.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Let jb = price per pound of jelly beans

Let tm = price per pound of trail mix

equation 1 -> 6*jb + 2*tm = 22

equation 2 -> 3*jb + 5*tm = 16

simplify equation 1

6*jb + 2tm = 22

2*tm = 22 - 6*jb

divide by 2

tm = 11 - 3*jb

plug this into equation 2

3*jb + 5*tm = 16

3*jb + 5*(11-3*jb) = 16

3*jb + 55 - 15*jb = 16

-12*jb + 55 = 16

-12*jb = 16 - 55

-12*jb = -39

jb = -39/-12

jb = 3.25

then, plug the cost per pound of jelly beans back into the simplified equation 1

tm = 11 - 3*jb

tm = 11 - 3*3.25

tm = 1.25

Since C is 61 degrees, A is 90 degrees because of the right angle, and B would be 29 degrees because you add 61 and 90 together and subtract that amount from 180.
