c, pounds of Chamomile tea

18.2c%2B12.26%2A14=14.42%2A%28c%2B14%29

18.2c%2B12.26%2A14=14.42c%2B14.26%2A14
18.2c-14.42c=14.26%2A14-12.26%2A14
%2818.2-14.42%29c=14%2814.26-12.26%29
c=14%28%2814.26-12.26%29%2F%2818.2-14.42%29%29--------compute this.

Your other two questions are the same kind but different units and numbers.
