Answer: Therefore, the price of a wrap is Rs 92.2 and the price of a milkshake is Rs (92.2 + 7) = 99.2.

Explanation:

Let's assume the price of a wrap is x (in Rs).

According to the given information, a milkshake costs Rs 7 more than a wrap. So, the price of a milkshake would be x + 7 (in Rs).

The group buys 8 milkshakes and 2 wraps. Since they bought 8 milkshakes, the total cost of milkshakes would be 8 * (x + 7) = 8x + 56 (in Rs).

Similarly, the total cost of wraps would be 2x (in Rs).

The total cost for the lunch is given as Rs 978.

So, we can set up the equation:

Total cost of milkshakes + Total cost of wraps = Total cost of lunch

(8x + 56) + (2x) = 978

Combining like terms:

10x + 56 = 978

Subtracting 56 from both sides:

10x = 922

Dividing both sides by 10:

x = 92.2
