Answer 1

Answer:

One order of fries costs 2

Step-by-step explanation:

She got 4.25 + two fries on Monday

She got 6.75 + one fries on Tuesday

Since she spends the same amount of money on lunch every day, both of the money that is spent must be equal.

Let f represent the cost of one order of fries, then equations can be written as follows:

4.25 + 2f  (1)

6.25 + f  (2)

Since both is equal:

→ 4.25 + 2f = 6.25 + f

→ f = 2
