Answer to Problem 13MCQ
A system of equations to find the cost of a single taco and a single burrito is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The data table in part (a)
Concept used:
According to the given conditions we connect the variables and given quantities.
Calculations:
Conclusion:
In order-1, the total cost of 3 tacos and 2 burritos is $23.35. The cost of one taco is x and that of burrito is y. So cost of 3 tacos is $3xand of 2 burritos is $2y.Therefore, the equation that connect the variable and given quantities is
In order-2, the total cost of 4 tacos and 1burritos is $19.80. The cost of one taco is x and that of burrito is y. So cost of 3 tacos is $4xand of 2 burritos is $y.Therefore, the equation that connect the variable and given quantities is
Conclusion:
A system of equations to find the cost of a single taco and a single burrito is
c.
To solve:The system of equations in obtained in part (a).
c.
