Question

A very, very hungry guy goes to a fast food place and orders 2 chicken sandwiches

and 4 tacos, at a total cost of $6.60. Three days later, he's ready to eat again. This
time, he buys 5 chicken sandwiches and 2 tacos, at a total cost of $9.30. Write and
solve a system of linear equations. Identify the cost of one chicken sandwich, and the
price of one taco.

Answer 1

To solve the problem, we can set up a system of linear equations and solve for the cost of one chicken sandwich and the price of one taco.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of linear equations.

Let's define:

• x = cost of one chicken sandwich
• y = cost of one taco

We can then write two equations based on the information given:

Equation 1: 2x + 4y = 6.60

Equation 2: 5x + 2y = 9.30

Using these equations, we can solve for x and y.
