Christine, Jose, and Bill served a total of 85 orders Monday at the school cafeteria. Bill served 3 times as many orders as Christine. Christine served 5 fewer orders than Jose. How many orders did they each serve?
Assume Jose served x orders
Christine serves (x-5) orders
Bill serves 3(x-5) orders
Total 85 orders
x+(x-5)+3(x-5) =85
x+x-5+3x-15 =85
5x-20 =85
5x=105
x= 95/5 = 21
Jose 21
Christine 16
Bill 48
