Answer 1

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter C

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

hamburgers = h

fries = f

soda = s

Student 1         4h + 4f + 1s = 21

Student 2         1h + 1f + 1s = 5

Student 3         1h + 1f        = 5

From the data of students 2 and 3 we can conclude that the system will not have a solution because is not possible that one student has charged 3 items for the same cost of student 3 that bought only 2 items.
