Answer: the system of equations that could be used to determine the number of tacos sold and the number of burritos sold are

3.75x + 7.5y = 750

x = 2y

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of tacos sold

Let y represent the number of burritos sold. .

She sells each taco for $3.75 and each burrito for $7.50. Yesterday Samantha made a total of $750 in revenue from all burrito and taco sales. This is expressed as

3.75x + 7.5y = 750 - - - - - - - - - -- - -1

There were twice as many burritos sold as there were tacos sold. This is expressed as
