Answer:
The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.
Step-by-step explanation:
2x+5y=19.5
5x+2y=22.5
------------------
5(2x+5y)=5(19.5)
-2(5x+2y)=-2(22.5)
-----------------------------
10x+25y=97.5
-10x-4y=-45
-----------------------
21y=52.5
y=52.5/21=2.5
2x+5(2.5)=19.5
2x+12.5=19.5
2x=19.5-12.5
2x=7
x=7/2=3.5
x=3.5, y=2.5
The price of the burrito is $3.5 and the price of the taco is $2.5.
Ahmad = 1/6
Barry = 1/2
Tara = 1 - 1/6 - 1/2 = 1/3
1/3 of the seashells = 76
3/3 of the seashells = 76 x 3
3/3 of the seashells = 228
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: They had 228 seashells altogether.
