Answer 1

Answer:

The cost of an order of large fries is $\ 2.10$ and the cost of a hamburger is $\ 3.25$.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of an order of large fries be $\ x$.

Then, the cost of a hamburger is $\ x+\ 1.15$.

Bill bought two hamburgers and an order of large fries for a total of $\ 8.60$.

So, $2(x+1.15)+x=8.60$

$\Rightarrow 2x+2.30+x=8.60$

$\Rightarrow 3x=8.60-2.30$

$\Rightarrow 3x=6.30$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{6.30}{3}$

$\Rightarrow x=2.10$

So, the cost of an order of large fries is $\ 2.10$.

And, the cost of a hamburger is $\ 2.10+\ 1.15=\ 3.25$.

Hence, the cost of an order of large fries is $\ 2.10$ and the cost of a hamburger is $\ 3.25$.
