Answer 1

Answer:

Kaitlin served 20 orders, Juan served 40 orders and Tony served 11 orders on Monday at the school cafeteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Total of orders server at the school cafeteria by Kaitlin, Tony and Juan = 71

Tony served 9 orders fewer than Kaitlin

Juan served 2 times as many orders as Kaitlin

2. How many orders did each one serve?

For answering this question, we should prepare and write down our equation this way:

x = Number of orders served by Kaitlin

2x = Number of order served by Juan ( 2 times as many orders as Kaitlin)

x - 9 = Number of order served by Tony (9 orders fewer than Kaitlin)

x + 2x + x - 9 = 71

4x = 71 + 9

4x = 80

x = 80/4 = 20

x = 20 ⇒ 2x = 40 ⇒ x - 9 = 11

Kaitlin served 20 orders, Juan served 40 orders and Tony served 11 orders on Monday at the school cafeteria.
