Fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue. Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2

Annette [7]

Answer:

134 children and 120 adult plates were served

Step-by-step explanation:

let the children mean be x

Let the adult meal be y

If fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue, then;

y = x - 14 .... 1

IF Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2.00 each with a total of 441 in amount then;

1.5x + 2y = 441 .... 2

Substitute 1 into 2;

1.5x + 2(x-14) = 441

1.5x+2x-28 = 441

3.5x = 441+28

3.5x = 469

x = 469/3.5

x = 134

Recall that y = x - 14

y = 134-14

y = 120

Hence 134 children and 120 adult plates were served
