Also, the cost of 3 pounds of Jelly Beans and 5 pounds of Trail mix is $15.

Call the cost of one pound of Jelly beans as J

And cost of one pound of Trail Mix as T.

Now, converting the given data to mathematical form, we would have:

Dividing through out by 2 we have:

To solve (1) and (2), subtract the two equations which will give us:

⇒                                            T = 9/4

Substituting the value of T in (1), we have:

∴                                               J  = 5/4

step-by-step explanation:
