Question

Kayla owns a food truck that sells tacos and burritos. She sells each taco for $3 and each burrito for $7.25. Yesterday Kayla made a total of $595 in revenue from all burrito and taco sales and there were twice as many burritos sold as there were tacos sold. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of tacos sold and the number of burritos sold. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

Let t = the number of tacos sold
Let b = the number of burritos sold
3t + 7.25b = 595
B=2t
