Question

A local restaurant only sells burgers and cokes. 3 burgers and 5 comes cost $17, while 6 burgers and 9 cokes cost $33. What’s the price of a burger?

Answer 1

Answer:

The price of a burger is $4 and that of cone is $1.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of burger is x and that of cone is y.

ATQ,

3x+5y = 17 ....(1)

And

6x + 9y = 33 ...(2)

Multiply equation (1) by 2.

6x + 10 y = 34 ...(3)

Subtract equation (2) from (3)

6x + 10 y-(6x + 9y) = 34 - 33

6x + 10 y-6x- 9y = 1

y = 1

Put the value of y in equation (1)

3x+5 = 17

3x = 12

x = 4

So, the price of a burger is $4 and that of the cone is $1.
