What is the answer for 2 1/4 lb of ground beef and 1 3/4 lb of ground pork. The ground pork costs $1.20 more per pound than the ground beef. The total cost for the meat was $15.22.

B+1.20=p

2.25b+1.75p=15.22

sub b+1.20 for p

2.25b+1.75 (b+1.20) = 15.22

2.25b+1.75b+2.1=15.22

minus 2.1 from both sides

4b=13.12

divide both sides by 4

b=3.28

sub back

b+1.20=p

3.28+1.20=p

4.48=p

2.25*3.28=7.38

1.75*4.48=7.84
