A packager of tea leaves blends 3.5 pounds of tea leaf A with 1.5 pounds of tea leaf B to make a special blend. One pound of tea leaf B costs $2 less than one pound of tea leaf A. The packager finds that the cost of making the blend is $3 per round. Find the cost of one pound of tea leaf B.

OpenStudy (moss65):

x - cost of one pound of tea leaf B, (2+x) - cost of one pound of tea leaf A.Then 1.5x+3.5(2+x)=15 (5 lb of a special blend cost $15). x=$1.6. I think so.
