Answer:

The jelly beans cost $2.25 / pound

The trail mix costs $1.25 / pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let +a+ = cost/pound of jelly beans

Let +b+ = cost/pound of trail mix

(1) 6a + 2b =16

(2) 3a + 5b =13

Multiply both sides by 2  

and subtract (1) from (2)

(2) 6a -2b = -16

(1) -6a -2b = -16

8b=10

b=1.25

and

(1) 6a+2b=16

(1) +3a+b=8

(1) 3a+1.25=8

(1) +3a=6.75

(1) a=2.25
