The cost of a burger is Rs 20 more than a cup of ice cream. The total cost of a burger and two ice cream cups is Rs 80. Find the price of a burger and a cup of ice cream?

Respuesta :

The price of one burger is Rs 40 and a cup of ice cream is Rs 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Price of one burger = x

Price of cup of ice cream = y

According to given statement;

x = y+20      Eqn 1

x+2y=80      Eqn 2

Putting value of x from Eqn 1 in Eqn 2

[tex](y+20)+2y=80\\y+20+2y=80\\3y=80-20\\3y=60[/tex]

Dividing both sides by 3

[tex]\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{60}{3}\\y=20[/tex]

Putting y=20 in Eqn 1

[tex]x=20+20\\x=40[/tex]

The price of one burger is Rs 40 and a cup of ice cream is Rs 20.
