If you order 3 chickens wraps and order 2 orders of potatoes for a total bill of $42.95 someone else orders 5 chicken wraps and 4 orders of potatoes for a total bill of $74.91. What is the cost of a chicken wrap and what is the cost of one order of potatoes

The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of a chicken wrap be x

Let the cost of one order of potatoes be y.

From the question,

3x + 2y = $42.95 equation i

5x + 4y = $74.91 equation ii

Multiply equation i by 5

Multiply equation ii by 3

15x + 10y = $214.75 equation iii

15x + 12y = $224.73 equation iv

Subtract equation iv from equation iii. This will be:

-2y = -$9.98

y = $9.98/2

y = $4.99

Since 3x + 2y = $42.95

3x + 2($4.99) = $42.95

3x + $9.98 = $42.95

3x = $42.95 - $9.98

3x = $32.97

x = $32.97/3

x = $10.99

The cost of a chicken wrap is $10.99

The cost of one order of potatoes is $4.99.

answer: c

because if you look at the chart you can see a pattern and compare it to the question he simplify out your

but i think the formula is f(x)=6x

so, converting firstly the mixed fractions to improper fractions and then "adding".
