Answer:
Let the cost of one soft taco = s
Let the cost of one burrito = b
So we have this system
3s + 3b = 11.25
4s + 2b = 10.00 (1)
Divide the first equation through by 3 and we have that
s + b = 3.75 subtract b from both sides
s = 3.75 - b (2)
Sub (2) into (1) and we have
4 (3.75 - b) + 2b = 10.00 simplify
15 - 4b + 2b = 10.00
-2b + 15 =10.00 subtract 15 from both sides
-2b = - 5.00 divide both sides by -2
b = 2.50
And using (2)
s = 3.75 - 2.50 = 1.50
