How to answer this question, please I need steps​

Answer 1

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

We require 2 equations in 2 variables

let x be the number of salads sold and y the number of drinks sold, then the 2 equations are

x + y = 209 → (1)

6.5x + 2y = 836.5 → (2)

Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate y

- 2x - 2y = - 418 → (3)

Add (2) and (3) term by term

(6.5x - 2x) + (2y - 2y) = (836.5 - 418) ← simplify

4.5x = 418.5 ( divide both sides by 4.5 )

x = 93

The number of salads sold was 93
