Step 1 :Let's denote the cost of almonds per pound as 'a' and the cost of jelly beans per pound as 'j'.
Step 2 :The problem gives us two equations based on the information provided: \(3a + 8j = 23\) and \(5a + 2j = 10\).
Step 3 :We can solve this system of equations to find the values of 'a' and 'j'.
Step 4 :By solving the equations, we find that 'a' equals 1 and 'j' equals \(\frac{5}{2}\).
Step 5 :Final Answer: The cost for each pound of almonds is \(\boxed{1}\) dollar and the cost for each pound of jelly beans is \(\boxed{\frac{5}{2}}\) dollars.
