Your family goes to a Southern-style restaurant for dinner. There are 6 people in your family. Some order the chicken dinner for $14 and some order the steak dinner for $17. If the total bill
was $99, how many people ordered each dinner?

We conclude that:

The number of people who ordered the chicken dinner = 1The number of people who ordered the steak dinner = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Some order the chicken dinner for $14some order the steak dinner for $17.Total bill = $99Let 'n' be the number of people who ordered the chicken dinner.Let '6-n' be the number of people who ordered the steak dinner.

Thus, the equation becomes

Divide both sides by -3

and

Therefore, we conclude that:

The number of people who ordered the chicken dinner = 1The number of people who ordered the steak dinner = 5
