At a certain diner, a hamburger and coleslaw cost $3.59, and a hamburger and french fries cost $4.40. If french fries cost twice as much as coleslaw, how much do french fries cost?
(A) $0.30
(B) $0.45
(C) $0.60
(D) $0.75
(E) $0.90

I am getting an answer that is not part of the answer list...

Hamburger+Coleslaw=3.59
Hamburger+French Fries=4.40
French fries=2Coleslaw
H+C=3.59
H+2C=4.40
H=3.59-C
3.59-C+2C=4.40
C=4.40-3.59
C=0.81
So French Fries cost 1.62$
Checking by backsolving-ok Hence there is a typo in answer choices
The correct answer is 1.62$
