Question

At a restaurant, the cost for one breakfast taco and one glass of milk is $2.10.

The cost for two tacos and three glasses of milk is $5.15.



How much would it cost for 3 tacos and 4 glasses of milk

Answer 1

Answer: $7.25

Explanation:

Let T = taco cost

Let M = milk cost

T + M = 2.10

2T + 3M = 5.15

Multiply the first equation by (-2) and add it to the second equation

-2T - 2M = -4.20

2T + 3M = 5.15

M = 0.95

Plug this value for M in to the first equation

T + 0.95 = 2.10

T = 1.15

So a taco costs $1.15 and the milk costs $0.95

1.15 * 3 = 3.45

0.95 * 4 = 3.80

3.45 + 3.80 = 7.25
