    Cost of 1 burrito = $32

    Cost of 1 taco platter = $26

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let us assume the cost of 1 burrito = $ m

    And the cost of 1 taco platter = $ n

    Now, according to the question:

    Cost of 1 burrito + 1 taco platter = $58

    ⇒ m + n = $ 58 ... (1)

    Cost of 2 burrito + 1 taco platter = $90

    ⇒ 2 m + n = $ 90 ... (2)

    Solving both equation, we get:

    (2) - (1) ⇒ 2 m + n - m - n = 90 - 58

    m = 32

    ⇒ n = 58 - 32 = 26 ⇒ n = 26

    Hence, cost of 1 burrito = $32

    and the cost of 1 taco platter = $26
