Multiply the first equation by 4 and subtract the second:

  4(2j +5a) -(8j +3a) = 4(8) -(21)

  17a = 11

  a = 11/17

  j = (8 - 5(11/17))/2 = 2 13/34

Each pound of jellybeans costs 2 13/34 dollars; each pound of almonds costs 11/17 dollars. Rounded to cents, these costs are $2.38 and $0.65 per pound.
