Answer 1

5 people ordered the chicken, one person ordered the steak .

Explanation:

Okay, let's do this!

We know:

- Steak is $17

- Chicken is $14.80

- You have 6 people in your family.

- The total bill was $91.

Chicken times 5 = $74

Steak times 1 = $ 17

5 chicken and one steak equals 91.

Therefor, 5 people ordered the chicken and one person ordered the steak.

Hope this helps! Best of luck, happy holidays and stay safe!
