Answer:

The cost of a chicken shawarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes=$4.99

Equations needed

3x+2y =42.95

5x + 4y=74.91

Step-by-step explanation:

x = the cost of a chicken shawarma wrap

y = the cost of an order of spiced potatoes

Ms. Ironperson

3x+2y =42.95

Mr. Thoro

5x + 4y=74.91

3x+2y =42.95 (1)

5x + 4y=74.91 (2)

Multiply (1) by 2

6x + 4y=85.9 (3)

5x + 4y=74.91. (2)

Subtract (2) from (3)

6x - 5x= 85.9 - 74.91

x=$10.99

Substitute the value of x into (1)

3x+2y =42.95 (1)

3(10.99) + 2y =42.95

32.97 + 2y = 42.95

2y = 42.95 - 32.97

2y=9.98

Divide both sides by 2

y=9.98/2

=4.99

y=$4.99

Therefore,

The cost of a chicken shawarma wrap = $10.99

The cost of an order of spiced potatoes=$4.99
