Suppose that you are helping to set the prices for the menu at a new mexican restaurant. The regular dinner contains 2 tacos and 3 enchiladas. The special dinner contains 4 tacos and 5 enchiladas.
A) let t be the number of cents charges for each taco and let e be the number of cents charged for each enchilada. Write two expressions, one for the price of a regular dinner and other for the price of a special dinner.
B) how much would a dinner cost if:
-tacos are $0.35 each and enchiladas are $0.60 each?

Answer provided by our tutors
the regular dinner:
2t + 3e
the special dinner:
4t+5e
cost of a regular dinner if t=0.35 and e=0.60:
2(0.35) + 3(0.6) = 2.5, or $2.50
