Problema Solution

You and your friend go to a Mexican restaurant. You order 2 tacos and 2 enchiladas. Your frind orders 3 tacos and 1 enchilada. Your bill was $4.80. Your frinds bill was $4.00. What was the price of an enchilada?

Answer provided by our tutors

2x+2y = 4.8

3x+y = 4

or   x+y = 2.4

 

putting in eqn 2 , we get 

3(2.4-y)+y = 2.4

7.2 -3y+y = 2.4

2y = 4.8

y = 2.4

so $ 2.4 is answer
