Final answer:

Sean will pay $13.50 for the tea.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much Sean will pay for the tea, we need to multiply the weight of the tea by the cost per pound. Sean is buying 9/16 pound of tea and the cost is $24 per pound.

So, 9/16 * $24 = $<<9/16*24=13.5>>13.50

Therefore, Sean will pay $13.50 for the tea.
