<h3>The cost of each burrito platters is $ 41 and cost of each taco platter is $ 20</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
Let "a" be the cost of each burrito platters sold
Let "b" be the cost of each taco platters sold
<em><u>She spent $203 on 3 burrito platters and 4 taco platters</u></em>
<em><u>Thus we frame a equation as:</u></em>
3 burrito platters x cost of each burrito platters + 4 taco platters x cost of each taco platters = 203
<em><u>For a company meeting, she spent $285 on 5 burrito platters and 4 taco platters</u></em>
<em><u>Thus we frame a equation as:</u></em>
5 burrito platters x cost of each burrito platters + 4 taco platters x cost of each taco platters = 285
<em><u>Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
<em><u>Subtract eqn 1 from eqn 2</u></em>
5a + 4b - 3a - 4b = 285 - 203
2a = 82
a = 41
<em><u>Substitute a = 41 in eqn 1</u></em>
3(41) + 4b = 203
123 + 4b = 203
4b = 203 - 123
4b = 80
b = 20
Thus cost of each burrito platters is $ 41 and cost of each taco platter is $ 20
