    cheeseburger is $3 and chips is $0.75

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let price of cheeseburger be x while price of a bag of chips be y hence for the case of Nathan, we can write the equation as x+y=3.75. Similarly, for Jack, we can write it as 2x+3y=8.25

    x+y=3.75 hence x=3.75-y and substituting this into the second equation we have

    2x+3y=8.25

    2 (3.75-y) + 3y=8.25

    7.5-2y+3y=8.25

    y=8.25-7.5=0.75

    x=3.75-y=3.75-0.75=3

    Therefore, price of cheeseburger is $3 and chips is $0.75
