A merchant mixed 10 lb of a cinnamon tea with 2 lb of spice tea. The 12-pound mixture cost $13. A second mixture included 16 lb of the cinnamon tea and 8 lb of the spice tea. The 24-pound mixture cost $28. Find the cost per pound of the cinnamon tea and of the spice tea.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say c is the price of cinnamon tea, and s is the price of spice tea.

10c + 2s = 13

16c + 8s = 28

Divide the second equation by 4:

4c + 2s = 7

Subtract from the first equation:

6c = 6

c = 1

Use any equation to find s.

s = 1.5

Therefore, the cinnamon tea costs $1 per pound and the spice tea costs $1.50 per pound.
