Answer:

the burgers be 3 and fries be 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Let us assume burgers be x

And, the fries be y

Now according to the questiojn

1.25x + 0.50y = $4.75

1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48

Now multiply by 1.2 in the first equation

1.50x + 0.6y = $5.70

1.50x + 0.99y = $6.48

-0.39y = -0.78

y = 2

Now put the value of y in any of the above equation

1.25x + 0.50(2) = $4.75

x = 3

Hence, the burgers be 3 and fries be 2
