Each burger costs $4 and each order of fries costs $2.5 .

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of each burger and y be the cost of each orders of fries.

Given : Jim bought 3 burgers and 2 orders of fries for $17.

Abby bought 2 burgers and 4 orders of fries for $18.

Then, the system of linear equation will become :

Divide by 2 on each sides of equation (2), we get

Eliminate equation (3) from (1), we get

Divide by 2 on both sides , we get

x=4

Put value of x in (3), we get

Subtract 3  both sides, we gte

Divide by 2 both sides , we get

y=2.5

Hence, each burger costs $4 and each order of fries costs $2.5 .

y = 0.77(x)

step-by-step explanation:

the jacket retains this value after 23% cut or retains 77% of original value. plug original 87 jacket price for x and the remaining value should be y.
