Answer:

let t= the number of tacos sold

let b= the number of burritos sold

3.25t+7b=552

b=2t

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there were twice as many burrito sold as tacos sold, there were more burritos sold, so if we multiply by 2 the number of tacos sold, we will get the number of burritos sold, meaning b=2t.
