A camp counselor for a summer day camp sometimes buys lunch for her campers at a nearby fast food restaurant. On monday, she purchased 2 hamburger kid meals and 9 chicken nugget kid meals, for a total of $40. On thursday she spent $44 on 2 hamburgers kid meals and 10 chicken nugget meals. How much does each type of meal cost

cost of one hamburger kid meal is $2

the cost of one chicken nugget meal is $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one hamburger kid meal.

Let y represent the cost of one chicken nugget meal.

On Monday, she purchased 2 hamburger kid meals and 9 chicken nugget kid meals, for a total of $40. It means that

2x + 9y = 40- - - - - - - - -- -1

On Thursday she spent $44 on 2 hamburgers kid meals and 10 chicken nugget meals. It means that

2x + 10y = 44- - - -- - -- - - -2

Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes

- y = - 4

y = 4

Substituting y = 4 into equation 1, it becomes

2x + 9 × 4 = 40

2x + 36 = 40

2x = 40 - 36 = 4

x = 4/2

x = 2
