Question 2 • GA-Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections CR
Let b, o, and p be the costs per teaspoon of basil, oregano, and parsley. The blend costs give b + 2o + 3p = 1.06, b + o + 2p = 0.72, and 2b + 2o + p = 0.99. Solving these equations gives b = 0.23, so basil costs $0.23 per teaspoon (choice D).
