Respuesta :

The price of burritos is $4.50 and the price of tacos is $1.50.

The two simultaneous equations that can be derived from the question

3t + 2b = $13.50 equation 1

b = 3t equation 2

Where;

t = price of tacos

b = price of burritos

What is the price of tacos?

In order to determine the price of tacos, take the following steps:

Substitute for b in equation 1

3t + 2(3t) = $13.50

3t + 6t = $13.50

9t = $23.50

t = $1.50

What is the price of burritos?
