We need to know about the system of equations to solve such problems.
Given to us
- Sonji went to a sandwich shop for lunch with 8 of her friends.
- Part of the group ordered only a sandwich for $5, and the rest of the group ordered a combo for $8.
- The bill for all 9 people totaled $66.
Assumption
Let's assume that the number of sandwiches ordered is x and the number of combos ordered is y.
Total Orders
Given that the group of people was of 9 people, therefore, a total of 9 orders must be made.
Total number of orders = number of sandwiches ordered + number of combo ordered
[tex]9 = x+y[/tex]
Total bill
total bill of the group
=(number of sandwiches ordered x cost of a sandwich ) + (number of combos ordered x cost of a combo)
[tex]66=5x+8y[/tex]
Hence, we got the two equations of the system.
