    Amount of Grey tea = 275 pounds

    Amount of Orange Pekoe tea = 25 pounds

    Explanation:

    let G = amount of Grey tea

    let 300 - G = amount of Orange Pekoe tea

    4G + 2 (300 - G) = 3.5 x 300

    4G + 600 - 2G = 1,050

    2G = 1,050 - 600 = 550

    G = 550 / 2 = 275

    300 - G = 300 - 275 = 25
