    Jelly beans - $0.98 per pound

    chocolate drops - $0.67 per pounds

    terri's bag = 2.1 pounds and $1.56

    p = represents the pounds jelly beans.

    c = represents the pounds in chocolate drops

    p + c = 2.1

    0.98p + 0.67c = 1.56

    c = 2.1 - p; number of pounds of chocolate drops

    0.98p + 0.67 (2.1 - p) = 1.56

    0.98p + 1.41 - 0.67p = 1.56

    0.98p - 0.67p = 1.56 - 1.41

    0.31p = 0.15

    p = 0.15/0.31

    p = 0.48 pounds of jelly beans

    c = 2.1 - 0.48

    c = 1.62 pounds of chocolate drops.
