At a business meeting at Panera Bread, the bill (without tax) for two cappuccinos and three
caffe lattes was $19.75. At another table, the bill for one cappuccino and two caffe lattes
was $11.97. How much did each type of beverage cost?
If we let
x = cost of cappuccino
y = cost of latte
then we have
2x+3y = 19.75
x+2y = 11.97
Now just solve for x and y
