Question 1111425: A vendor sold 12 punds of coffee and 10 pounds of tea to one customer for $65.18 and and 10 pounds of coffee and 12 pounds of tea to another customer for $64.18. Find the price of each per pound.

C = pounds of coffee
T = pounds of tea
12C + 10T = 65.18
10C + 12T = 64.18
C + T = (64.18 + 65.18)/22 = 5.88
12C + 10T = 65.18
10C + 10T = 58.80
Subtract to get 2C = 6.38.
C = 3.19
T = 2.69
