The cost of a box of crackers is $2.25.

Explanation:

Let the cost of a containers of yogurt is $x and cost of a box of crackers is $y.

It is given that Mandy can buy 4 containers of yogurt and 3 boxes of crackers for $9.55.

`4x+3y=9.55` .... (1)

She can buy 2 containers of yogurt and 2 boxes of crackers for $5.90.

`2x+2y=5.90` .... (2)

`x=0.7`

`y=2.25`

Therefore the cost of a box of crackers is $2.25.
