Question

A customer at Lost Pastores placed an order for 3 burritos priced at x dollars each and a plate of corn tacos for $12.95. His total bill was $32.46. Create an equation for the word problem.

Answer 1

The total cost of the burritos can be found by multiplying the price per burrito by the number of burritos, and adding the cost of the corn tacos. This can be set up as an equation and solved for the price per burrito.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's denote the price of each burrito as x. The total cost of the burritos will then be 3x. Adding the cost of the corn tacos, we can set up the equation 3x + 12.95 = 32.46. To solve for x, we can subtract 12.95 from both sides of the equation, giving us 3x = 19.51. Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 3 to find that x = 6.50.
