The cost of each pound of trial mix = $2.75

The cost of each pound of jelly beans = $3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of each pound of trail mix be x and the cost of each pound of jelly bean be y.

Then according to the question, we have the following system,

Multiply 3 on both the sides of equation (1), we get

Eliminate equation (2) from (3), we get

Substitute the value of y in equation (1), we get

Hence, the cost of each pound of trial mix = $2.75

The cost of each pound of jelly beans = $3.5

faster, im not sure why but i know it is faster
