A tea mixture was made from 30Ib of tea costs $6.00 per pund and 7-Ib of tea that costs $3.20 per pund. Find the cost per pound of the tea mixture?
--------------------------------------
Equation:
value + value = value
6*30 + 3.2*7 = 37c where c is the cost per pound of the mixture
180 + 22.40 = 37c
202.40 = 37c
cost = 5.47
