Question

A customer at a Mexican diner placed an order for 3 burrito bowls which were priced at $x each. He also ordered a plate of corn tacos at $12.96 and was billed for a total of $32.46. What is the cost of each burrito bowl?

Answer 1

Answer: $6.50

Step-by-step explanation: Well we know that all the burrito bowls are for the same price. We also know that he spent $12.96 for corn tacos and had to pay a total of $32.46. So first we subtract 32.46 - 12.96 to find out how much he paid for the burritos alone. 32.46 - 12.96= 19.50 which means he spent $19.50 for all of the burritos. And since each burrito cost the same amount and there are 3 burritos, you have to divide $19.50 by 3 which gives you $6.50.
