we need to set up a system of equations based on the given information.<br /><br />Let's define the variables:<br />s = cost for each breakfast burrito<br />S = cost for each small glass of milk<br /><br />From the given information, we can write the following equations:<br /><br />Equation 1: s + S = 2.10 (The cost for a breakfast burrito and a small glass of milk is $2.10)<br />Equation 2: 2s + 3S = 5.15 (The cost for 2 burritos and 3 small glasses of milk is $5.15)<br /><br />Now, let's solve this system of equations.<br /><br />Step 1: Solve Equation 1 for s:<br />s = 2.10 - S<br /><br />Step 2: Substitute the expression for s into Equation 2:<br />2(2.10 - S) + 3S = 5.15<br />4.20 - 2S + 3S = 5.15<br />S = 5.15 - 4.20<br />S = 0.95<br /><br />Step 3: Substitute the value of S back into Equation 1 to find s:<br />s + 0.95 = 2.10<br />s = 2.10 - 0.95<br />s = 1.15<br /><br />Therefore, the cost for each breakfast burrito is $1.15 and the cost for each small glass of milk is $0.95.
