Answer:
- Joe: 57
- Scott: 19
- Laura: 28
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the number of orders Scott served. Then we have Joe served 3s, and Laura served (s+9). The total of orders served is ...
3s +s +(s +9) = 104
5s = 95 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 9 and collect terms
s = 19 . . . . . . . . . divide by 5
3s = 3×19 = 57
s+9 = 19+9 = 28
Joe served 57 orders, Scott served 19, and Laura served 28 orders.
