Question

Joe bought 3 tacos and 1 asada fry for $12.50.

Sam bought 1 taco and 2 asada fries for $13.75.
Write a system of equations that could help you
find the cost of each item.

Answer 1

I am not too sure so I deeply apologize for any wrongs, but this is my thinking.

Joe bought each taco for 4 dollars, and bought an asada fry for 50 cents.

On the other hand-

Sam also bought 1 taco for 12 dollars, and bought 2 asada fries, one of them was 1 dollar, and one of them was 75 cents.
