Answer:

Sally is 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent Sally's age by x and Sam's by y.

Then x = 3y and x + y = 84.

Substituting 3y for x in the second equation, we get:

3y + y = 84, or 4y = 84, or y = 21. Since Sally is 3 times as old as Sam, we multiply 21 by 3: Sally's age is 3(21 years) = 63 years

The answer is:

17*(3/14)

More detailed;

3/14 gives us how many it takes to feed 1 person, then we times the amount it takes to feed one person by 17 (to get 17 people)
