Answer:
B
Explanation:
We require 2 equations in 2 variables
let x be the number of salads sold and y the number of drinks sold, then the 2 equations are
x + y = 209 → (1)
6.5x + 2y = 836.5 → (2)
Multiplying (1) by - 2 and adding to (2) will eliminate y
- 2x - 2y = - 418 → (3)
Add (2) and (3) term by term
(6.5x - 2x) + (2y - 2y) = (836.5 - 418) ← simplify
4.5x = 418.5 ( divide both sides by 4.5 )
x = 93
The number of salads sold was 93
