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
