A bookstore has a shelf that contains biographies which normally sell for $20 each and mysteries that normally sell for $12 each. During a sale, the biographies and mysteries are discounted at different rates so that a customer saves a total of $19 from the normal price by buying 5 discounted biographies and 3 discounted mysteries. If the sum of the discount rates for the two types of books is 38 percent, what is the discount rate on mysteries?
