Answer

Find out the how many orders did they each serve .

To prove

Let us assume that the tony served be = x

As given

Laura,Ahmad,and Tony served a total of 94 orders Monday at the school cafeteria.

Ahmad served 3 times as many orders as Tony. Laura served 9 more orders than Tony.

Let us assume that the Ahmad served be = 3x

Let us assume that the Laura served be = 9 + x

Than the equation becomes

x + 3x + 9 + x = 94

5x = 94 - 9

5x = 85


x = (85)/(5)

x = 17

Tony served order be = 17

Ahmad served order be = 3 × 17

= 51

Laura served order be = 9 + x

= 9 + 17

= 26

Therefore the Tony served order is 17 , Ahmad served order is 51 and

Laura served order is 26 .
