22. Restaurants At Morgan's Fine Cuisine, meals are served a la carte. That is, each item on the menu is priced separately. Jackie and Ted Parris went to Morgan's to
celebrate their anniversary. Jackie ordered prime rib, 2 side dishes, and a roll. Ted
ordered prime rib, 3 side dishes, and 2 rolls. Jackie's meal came to $36 and Ted's
meal came to $44. If the prime rib is three times as expensive as a side dish, what
is the cost of each item?

Cost of a side dish = $ 7

Cost of a roll = $1

Cost of prime rib = $21

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = cost of a side dish , y= cost of a roll

Then, cost of a prime rib = 3x

Jackie's meal : prime rib, 2 side dishes, and a roll, it came to $36

i.e. 3x+2x +y = 36

⇒ 5x+y=36   (i)

Ted's meal : prime rib, 3 side dishes, and 2 rolls, it came to $44.

i.e. 3x+3x +2y = 44

⇒6x+2y=44

⇒ 3x+ y= 22   (ii)  [divide both sides by 2]

Subtract (ii) from (i), we get

2x= 14

⇒ x=7               [divide both sides by 2]

Put x=7 in (ii), 3(7)+y=22

⇒ 21+y=22

⇒  y =22-21

⇒ y= 1

So, cost of a side dish = $ 7

cost of a roll = $1

cost of prime rib = 3x $7 = $21

step-by-step explanation:

if you want to solve percent error follow these steps.

1. subtract the accepted value from the experimental value.

2. take the absolute value of step 1.

3. divide that answer by the accepted value.

4. multiply that answer by 100 and add the % symbol to express the answer as a percentage.

if you want to solve percent of change just do this.

1. work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

2. divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100. if your answer is a negative number then this is a percentage decrease.

hope this : )
