1 burger and 3 tacos for $14.50 How much does the tacos
cost?
O $2.25
O $2.75
O $1.50
O $3.25

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation: To find the cost of one taco, we can use a system of equations. Let x be the cost of one burger and y be the cost of one taco. Then we have:

2x + 4y = 22.50 x + 3y = 14.50

Multiplying the second equation by -2, we get:

-2x - 6y = -29 2x + 4y = 22.50

Adding the two equations, we get:

-2y = -6.50 y = 3.25

So one taco costs $3.25.
