Answer:

Cost of a coffee is <u>$2.5</u> and cost of a latte is <u>$4.25.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let cost of 1 coffee be 'c' and cost of 1 latte be 'l' dollars.

Given:

4 coffees and 12 lattes cost $61.

12 coffees and 7 lattes cost $59.75.

∵ 1 coffee cost = c

∴ 4 coffees cost = 4c and 12 coffee cost = 12c

∵ 1 latte cost = l

∴ 12 lattes cost = 12l and 7 lattes cost = 7l

Now, as per question:

4c+12l=61-----1\\12c+7l=59.75----2

Now, multiplying equation (1) by -3 and adding the result to equation (2). This gives,

-3(4c+12l)=-3(61)\\\\-12c-36l=-183\\12c+7l=59.75\\+\\----------\\0-29l=-123.25\\\\l=\frac{-123.25}{-29}=\$4.25

Now, plug in the value of 'l' in equation 1 to solve for 'c'. This gives,

4c+12(4.25)=61\\\\4c+51=61\\\\4c=61-51\\\\4c=10\\\\c=\frac{10}{4}=\$2.5

Therefore, cost of a coffee is $2.5 and cost of a latte is $4.25.
