hello peoples!!! heres a brain teaser for you

The fish market is selling different kinds of fish. But there aren't any prices listed. You ask about the prices, but all the seller will tell you is this:

  • A pound of salmon and a pound of bass are $12.
  • A pound of bass and a pound of swordfish are $10.
  • A pound of salmon and a pound of swordfish are $8.
  • A pound of swordfish and a pound of catfish are $5.
  • Each price per pound is a whole-dollar amount.

How much is the price per pound for each kind of fish?

This is a great question and I really will be impressed if anyone can come up with an answer to it. Solving this problem will be worth some bonus marks
