Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write a system of equations:

3 T + 4 B =425

T + B = 125

Where T is the number of tacos sold, and B is the number of burritos sold.

Multiplying the second equation by 3, and subtracting it to the first equation:

3 T + 4 B =425

3T + 3B = 375

___________

B =50

Replacing B in any equation:

T + B = 125

T +50 =125

T =125-50

T = 75
