At Ricardo's Tacos, four tacos and two orders of chips cost the same as two tacos and four orders of chips. If Ricardo's charges $2.00 for a single order of chips, how much does Ricardo's charge for 1 taco?

the amount that Ricardo charges for 1 taco is $2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the amount that Ricardo charges for 1 taco.

At Ricardo's Tacos, four tacos and two orders of chips cost the same as two tacos and four orders of chips.

If Ricardo's charges $2.00 for a single order of chips, then the cost of four tacos and two orders of chips is

4x + 2 × 2

= 4x + 4

Also, the cost of two tacos and four orders of chips would be

2x + 4 × 2

= 2x + 8

Since they cost the same, then

4x + 4 = 2x + 8

4x - 2x = 8 - 4

2x = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2

i pretty sure it is
