Answer:

a taco is 1.25 and a drink is 0.95

Explanation:

tacos = t

drinks = d

5t + 3d = 9.10

3t + d = 4.70

this is a simultaneous equation so times the first one by one and the second by 3 and then take them away from each other and solving to get

t = 1.25 and d=0.95

one drink is $0.95

one taco is $1.25

Hope this helps!!
