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

Help me plzzzzzzzzz :))))

Marty read 4 times as many pages as Nelson and Jennifer COMBINED. Marty read 1,860 pages.

In total, after dividing Marty's total by 4, Jennifer and Nelson both read a total of 465 pages.

After subtracting Nelson's 240, Jennifer is then found to have read 225 pages.

B would be the best viable option, as it clearly shows that 240+?x4=1,860, which it does.

Hope this helped. Khan Academy is a great resource for any learner. :)
