Answer 1

Answer:

Pizza = 12.35

Chips = 2.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Pizza = x

chips = y

3x + 4y = 48.05 - - - (1)

5x + 2y = 67.25 - - - (2)

Multiply (1) by 5 and (2) by 3

15x + 20y = 240.25

15x + 6y = 201.75

Subtract :

20y - 6y = 240.25 - 201.75

14y = 38.50

y = 38.50/ 14

y = 2.75

Put y = 2.75 in (1)

3x + 4(2.75) = 48.05

3x + 11 = 48.05

3x = 48.05 - 11

3x = 37.05

x = 37.05 / 3

x = 12.35

Pizza = 12.35

Chips = 2.75
