A merchant mixed 15 Ib of a cinnamon tea with 10 Ib of spice tea. The 25-pound mixture sells for $65. A second mixture included
14 lb of the cinnamon tea and 16 lb of spice tea. The 30-pound mixture sells for $84. Find the cost per pound for the cinnamon and for the spice tea. PLEASE EXPLAIN ANSER
To figure out the cost per pound, you need to divide the cost by the total number of pounds. So, for the 25 pound bag, divide 65 by 25 to get $2.6. For the 30 pound bag, divide 84 by 30 to get 2.8.
