The per-pound price of the mix must be: P = $2.40 per lb.

What is the per-pound price of the resulting bean mix?

To get it, we need to take the total amount of money used in the mix, and divide it by the mass of the mixture that we get.

We will use 6lb of pinto beans, where each lb costs $2.00, so the total cost of this part is:

6*$2.00 = $12.00

We also use 4 lb of lima beans, where each pound costs $3.00, so the total cost of this part is:

4*$3.00 = $12.00

Then the total cost of the mix is $12.00 + $12.00 = $24.00

And the the mix has a total mass of 6lb + 4lb = 10lb

Then the per-pound price of the mix must be:

P = $24.00/10lb = $2.40 per lb.
