Answer: cost of one hamburger kid meal is $2
the cost of one chicken nugget meal is $4
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one hamburger kid meal.
Let y represent the cost of one chicken nugget meal.
On Monday, she purchased 2 hamburger kid meals and 9 chicken nugget kid meals, for a total of $40. It means that
2x + 9y = 40- - - - - - - - -- -1
On Thursday she spent $44 on 2 hamburgers kid meals and 10 chicken nugget meals. It means that
2x + 10y = 44- - - -- - -- - - -2
Subtracting equation 2 from equation 1, it becomes
- y = - 4
y = 4
Substituting y = 4 into equation 1, it becomes
2x + 9 × 4 = 40
2x + 36 = 40
2x = 40 - 36 = 4
x = 4/2
x = 2
