Question

Samantha owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. 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 and there were twice as many burritos sold as there were tacos sold. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of tacos sold and the number of burritos sold. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

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

x = 2y

Answer 2

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

x = 2y
