Answer:

cost of a taco: $1.25

cost of a burrito: $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a taco be $t and the cost of a burrito be $b.

t +3b= 8.75 -----(1)

4t +2b= 10

Divide both sides by 2:

2t +b= 5

Making b the subject of formula:

b= 5 -2t -----(2)

Substitute (2) into (1):

t +3(5 -2t)= 8.75

Expand:

t +3(5) +3(-2t)= 8.75

t +15 -6t= 8.75

t -6t= 8.75 -15

-5t= -6.25

t= -6.25 ÷(-5)

t= 1.25

Substitute t= 1.25 into (2):

b= 5 -2(1.25)

b= 5 -2.5

b= 2.50

Thus, the cost of a taco is $1.25 and the cost of a burrito is $2.50.
