as many orders as Justin. Heather served 5 more orders than Justin. How many orders did they each serve?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Justin + Heather + Chang = 93

J      + (J+5)   + 2J    = 93

4J + 5 = 93  ====>  4J = 93 - 5 = 88   ====>  J =  = 22.


Answer.  Justin served 22 orders, Heather 22+5 = 27  and  Chang served 2*22 = 44.

Solved.
