Ounce Round
Can anyone help me with this matrix problem?

A small store sells spearmint tea at $2.70 an ounce and peppermint tea at $3.50 per ounce. The store owner decides to make a batch of 500 ounces of tea that mixes both kinds and sell the mixture for $3.07 an ounce. How many ounces of the two varieties of tea should be mixed to obtain the same revenue as selling them unmixed? Round the number of ounces to the nearest tens place (multiple of ten).

If you take 233 ounces at 3.5 an ounce and 267 ounces at 2.70 an ounce you end up with an average price per ounce of 3.07 (rounded down)

3 – 25oz SILVER BAR, 1 – 100 oz SILVER BAR – 5 ONE OUNCE ROUND PURCHASE!
