Question

Jackie sold 3 times as many meals as Yolanda. Thomas sold 2 more meals than Yolanda. If they sold a total of 122 meals, how many meals did Yolanda sell?

Answer 1

the number of meals that yolanda sold is 24

Explanation:

The computation of the number of meals that yolanda sold is shown below:

Given that

The total meals sold is 122

Let yolanda meals be x

So jackie meals would be 3x

And, thomas meals be x + 2

So according to this

the equation is

x + 3x + x + 2 = 122

5x + 2 = 122

5x = 120

x = 24

Hence, the number of meals that yolanda sold is 24
