Answer:
- trail mix: $1.25
- jelly beans: $3.50 per pound
Step-by-step explanation:
The difference between double the first purchase and the second purchase is $7 and 2 pounds of jelly beans. Hence a pound of jelly beans is $3.50.
(4t +8j) -2(2t +3j) = (33) -2(13) . . . . . let t and j represent pounds of trail mix and jelly beans, respectively
2j = 7 . . . . . . . . . . simplify
j = 7/2 = 3.50
Using that value in the first purchase, we get ...
2t +3(3.50) = 13
2t = 13 -10.50
t = 2.50/2 = 1.25
A pound of trail mix is $1.25.
