Problema Solution

Ann is responsible for ordering a week's supply of meat and fish for the main dishes at a local restaurant. The fish costs twice as much as the meat. She needs to order 164 meat selections and 24 fish selections. Her budget is $4240. How much can Ann spend on each type of main dish?

Answer provided by our tutors

164m + 24(2m) = 4240

---

164m + 48m = 4240

212m = 4240

m = $20 (average price of the meat selections)

2m = $40 (average price of the fish selections)
