You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let +C+ = the cost/kilo in dollars of the inferior tea
+C+%2B+2+ = the cost/kilo in dollars of the superior tea
----------------------------------------------------
+6C+%2B+3%2A%28+C+%2B+2+%29+=+24+
+6C+%2B+3C+%2B+6+=+24+
+9C+=+18+
+C+=+2+
The price of the inferior tea is $2/kilo
-----------------------------------
check:
+6C+%2B+3%2A%28+C+%2B+2+%29+=+24+
+6%2A2+%2B+3%2A4+=+24+
+12+%2B+12+=+24+
+24+=+24+
OK
