A tennis couch took his team out for like lunch and bought a burgers in five fries for $24. The players were still hungry so the coach bought 6 more burgers and two more fries for $16.60. Find the cost of each

Cost of the burger is $1.25 and the fries is $4.55

Step-by-step explanation:

x + 5y = 24 (1)

6x + 2y = 16.60 (2)

6x + 30y = 144

6x + 2y = 16.60

28y = 127.40

y = $4.55

x + 5 × 4.55 = 24

x + 22.75 = 24

x = $1.25

each burger costs $1.25

Each fry costs 4.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the cost of one burger.

Let y represent the cost of one fry.

The tennis coach took his team out for lunch and bought a burger and five fries for $24. This means that

x + 5y = 24- - - - - - - - - - - - -1

The players were still hungry so the coach bought 6 more burgers and two more fries for $16.60. This means that

6x + 2y = 16.6 - - - - - - - - - - - -2

Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 1, it becomes

6x + 30y = 144

6x + 2y = 16.6

Subtracting, it becomes

28y = 127.4

y = 127.4/28

y = 4.55

Substituting y = 4.55 into equation 1, it becomes

x + 5 × 4.55 = 24

x + 22.75 = 24

x = 24 - 22.75

x = 1.25

use an equation of ratios to determine the amount of gas needed to fill the tank.

    0.2             0.8

  =    

288.75             x

                                                              231 gal

so, 0.2x = (0.8)(288.75 gal), and x = = 1155 gal.

                                                                0.2

it would take 1155 gal. to fill the tank.

the cost would be

1155 gal         $3

* = $3465   (answer)

      1           1 gal

hope this you
