At a particular fast food restaurant, tacos cost $1.29 and burritos cost $2.19. Michael spent a total of $42.93 at the
restaurant to buy food for a party. If he purchased half as
many burritos as tacos, how many tacos did he buy?

9 burritos and 18 tacos

Step-by-step explanation:

We can start this problem by assigning a variable to our unknowns.

Let's name x the number of burritos he buys.

The question states he buys half as many burritos as tacos.

Therefore, the number of tacos he bought is 2x.

Let's set up an equation.

(Cost of burrito)(number of burritos)+(Cost of taco)(number of tacos)=Total Cost

2.19x+1.29(2x)=42.93

Simplify

2.19x+2.58x=42.93

4.77x=42.93

x=9

Michael bought 9 burritos.

2*9=18

Michael bought 18 tacos.
