Answer 1

Answer:

D. 3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

3t+2d=$13.00

4t+d=$15.25

3t+2d=$13.00

8t+2d=$30.50

E2-E1

5t=$30.50-$13.00

t=3.5

Answer 2

The taco cost is option D. 3.50

Given that,

• If three tacos and two drinks cost $13.00, and four tacos and one drink costs $15.25.

Based on the above information, the calculation is as follows:

3t+2d=$13.00 ......(1)

4t+d=$15.25 .......(2)

Here we have to multiply by 2 in equation 2

So,  

3t+2d=$13.00

8t+2d=$30.50

So,  

5t=$30.50-$13.00

t=3.5
