Ok. You can use equations to find out what number of each meal was eaten. 

x*14+y*17=99

If you solve for x and y (I used guess and check- there's only a few possible combinations) and got one chicken dinner and five steak dinners.

Answer : The number people that ordered chicken dinner and steak dinner are, 1 and 5 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation :

Let the number people that ordered chicken dinner be, x

So, the number people that ordered steak dinner will be, (6-x)

As per question, some order the chicken dinner for $14 and some order the steak dinner for $17. The equation will be:

14x+17(6-x)=99

By solving the term 'x', we get:

14x+17\times 6-17x=99

14x+102-17x=99

14x-17x=99-102

-3x=-3

3x=3

x=\frac{3}{3}

x=1

Thus, the number people that ordered chicken dinner = x = 1

and, number people that ordered steak dinner = (6-x) = 6-1 = 5

Thus, the number people that ordered chicken dinner and steak dinner are, 1 and 5 respectively.
