To find the cost of one order of fries, let's denote the cost of one order of fries as \( x \).
From the information given:
1. On Monday, Camille spent a total of \( 4.25 + 2x \) (the cost of the sandwich plus two orders of fries).
2. On Tuesday, she spent a total of \( 6.75 + x \) (the cost of the hamburger plus one order of fries).
Since Camille spends the same amount every day, we can set up the equation:
\[
4.25 + 2x = 6.75 + x
\]
Now, let's solve for \( x \).
1. Subtract \( x \) from both sides:
\[
4.25 + 2x - x = 6.75
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
4.25 + x = 6.75
\]
2. Now, subtract \( 4.25 \) from both sides:
\[
x = 6.75 - 4.25
\]
Calculating the right side gives:
\[
x = 2.50
\]
Thus, the cost of one order of fries is \( \boxed{2.50} \).
