Answer:

<em>It took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The patch grows to double its size everyday

the patch completely covers the lake in 32 days

Since the patch doubles itself everyday, this means that the previous day before the 32nd day, the lake was just half covered.

Therefore, the the patch covered half the lake on the 31st day, i.e <em>it took 31 days for the patch to cover half the lake</em>

Know: 17.35 is equivalent to 4 burgers 3 med fries
6.09 Is equivalent to 1 burger med fries
9.34 8s equivalent to 2 burgers med fries and med drink
So what you want to do is take 6.09 and subtract it from 9.34 which is 3.25. Now 3.25 is your burger price.
What you want to do now is take your 3.25 and multiply it by 4 which would be 13. 17.35 subtract 13 would be 4.
4 divided by 3 is 1.33 which is now the price of a med fries.
now for the drink. 3.25 plus 1.33 is 4.58.
6.09 subtract 4.58 is 1.51
Now you have 3.25 as your burger
1.33 as your fries
1.52 for your drink
