Question

You and your friends decide to go to Taco Bell for lunch on Saturday. You order 2 Crunchwrap Supremes and 4 Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos, and your bill came to $14.94. The next week you go back and order 3 Crunchwrap Supremes and 8 Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Tacos for a total of $26.19. How much is 1 Crunchwrap Supreme?

Answer 1

By setting up two equations representing two separate orders and solving them simultaneously, we determine that the cost of one Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell is $3.69.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the cost of one Crunchwrap Supreme from Taco Bell, we will set up two equations based on the information given from two different orders. Let's denote the cost of one Crunchwrap Supreme as C and the cost of one Nacho Cheese Doritos Locos Taco as T.

From the first order, the equation would be: 2C + 4T = $14.94

For the second order, the equation would be: 3C + 8T = $26.19

We can solve these equations simultaneously to find the value of C. For simplicity, we will double the first order equation to help eliminate the variable T, and then subtract the resulting equation from the second order's equation.

After doubling the first equation we get:

4C + 8T = $29.88

Subtracting this from the second order's equation, we have:

3C + 8T - (4C + 8T) = $26.19 - $29.88

Which simplifies to:

-C = -$3.69

Therefore, one Crunchwrap Supreme costs $3.69.
