Answer:

Marcy paid $4.15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent hotdogs with x and chips with y.

So, we have:

Jamal

[tex]3x + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

Kenny

[tex]5x + 6y = 9.55[/tex]

See attachment for complete question

Required

Determine the amount for 2x and 3y

From Jamal's and Kenny's orders we have:

[tex]3x + 2y = 4.85[/tex] --- (1)

[tex]5x + 6y = 9.55[/tex] --- (2)

Multiply (1) by 3

[tex]3 * [3x + 2y = 4.85][/tex]

[tex]9x + 6y = 14.55[/tex] --- (3)

Subtract (2) and (3)

[tex]9x - 5x + 6y - 6y = 14.55 - 9.55[/tex]

[tex]9x - 5x = 5[/tex]

[tex]4x = 5[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = \frac{5}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x = 1.25[/tex]

Substitute [tex]x = 1.25[/tex] in [tex]3x + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

[tex]3 * 1.25 + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

[tex]3.75 + 2y = 4.85[/tex]

Solve for y

[tex]y = \frac{4.85 - 3.75}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{1.10}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = 0.55[/tex]

So, the cost of 2x and 3y is:

[tex]Cost = 2x + 3y[/tex]

[tex]Cost = 2*1.25 + 3*0.55[/tex]

[tex]Cost = \$4.15[/tex]
