Question

Pls help if you can Thx!

Answer 1

Answer:

The Answer Is E!

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation., you have to try every solution and the only one that perfectly completes both statements is answer E.

We subtract the $1.15 from $2.10 if this is the price of one taco, leaving the price of a small cup of coffees price     ($2.10-$1.15=$0.95 for a small cup of coffee

To check it fits both statements, we multiply the price of one coffee  by 3 ()$0.95×3=$2.85 for three small coffees\

Next, we multiply $1.15 (one taco) by 2 to fill in the expression  ($1.15×2=$2.30)

Finally, we add both the prices of the 3 coffees and two tacos which adds up to a perfect $5.15, justifying the answer

Answer 2

GIVEN:

Cost of a taco and a cup of tea = $2.10

• x + y = 2.10 ...(1)

Cost of 2 tacos and 3 cup of tea = $5.15

• 2x + 3y = 5.15 ...(2)

ANSWER:

On solving eq(1), we get

• x = 2.10 – y

Substitute the value of x in eq(2), we get

• 2(2.10 – y) + 3y = 5.15
• 4.20 – 2y + 3y = 5.15
• y = 5.15 – 4.20
• y = 0.95

So, x = 2.10 – 0.95

• x = 1.15

Hence, Cost of a taco is $1.15

So, Correct choice - [E] $1.15
