She will mix some Earl Grey tea that sells for $4 per pound with some Orange Pekoe tea that sells for $2 per pound to get 300 pounds of the new blend. The selling price of the new blend is $3.50 per pound and there is no difference in revenue from selling the new blend versus selling the other types. How many pounds of Earl Grey tea and Orange Pekoe tea are required? </SPAN>\n" );
