Question

Story Problem:

Avery purchased 4 tacos and 2 burritos and her total cost was $21. Sasha purchased 4 tacos and 3 burritos
and her total cost was $26.50. What is the price of one burrito?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let tacos be x and burritos be y

So, Avery purchased 4x+2y = 21

Sasha purchased 4x+3y = 26.5

Solving the 2 eqns:

4x+2y=21

-4x-3y=-26.5

-y=-5.5

The cost of one burrito is $5.5
