Answer:

A sandwich costs $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent chips with c and sandwiches with c

[tex]c = \$1.25[/tex]

[tex]Total = \$38.75[/tex]

From the question, we understand that 5 sandwiches were ordered.

Hence, the question of the system is:

[tex]5s + c = Total[/tex]

Substitute values for Total and c

[tex]5s + 1.25 = 38.75[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]5s = 38.75 - 1.25[/tex]

[tex]5s = 37.5[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5

[tex]s = \frac{37.5}{5}[/tex]

[tex]s = 7.5[/tex]
