Problema Solution

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?

- tacos are $0.45 each and enchilads are $0.50 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
