Hi
   76x + 62.50(200kkg) = 70(200kg + x)
     76x + 62.50(200)= 70(200kg) + 70x
       6x = 7.50(200kg)
              x =  7.50(200kg)/6  The amount of green tea

TEA           PRICE      QUANTITY
Mint          62.5        200
Green         76          h
Mixture       70          h+200

%2862.5%29%28200%29%2B76h=70%28h%2B200%29-------solve for h and compute result.



************************************Misread part of the problem *** Below is wrong************************ 
TEA           PRICE      QUANTITY
Mint          62.5        200-h
Regular       76          h
Mixture       70          200

62.5%28200-h%29%2B76h=70%2A200
-
%2862.5%29%28200%29-%2862.5%29h%2B76h=70%2A200
76h-%2862.5%29h=70%2A200-62.5%2A200
h=cross%28%28200%2870-62.5%29%29%2F%2876-62.5%29%29-----------compute and find the other quantity (for the mint).

Both the setup and the "solution" in the post by @josgarithmetic are wrong.
