Answer:
80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
let the number of persons that had fish be x and chicken be y
so
12x+9y=2544------------------1
x+y= 232------------------------2
from 2
x= 232-y
substitute the value of x in 1
12(232-y)+9y=2544
2784-12y+9y=2544
2784-3y=2544
3y= 2784-2544
3y=240
y= 240/3
y=80
put y= 80 in 2
x+80= 232
x= 232-80
x=152
Hence 80 persons haf fish and 152 persons had chicken
X is equal to 23
15/3 = 5
36/3 = 12
39/3 = 13 then add the 10 and you get 23
