You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let's call the cost of Martha's lunch, M.
Sally's lunch cost will be S.
You know the total was $5.64.
1.
You also know that Sally paid $2.00 more than Martha.
2.
If you substitute the value for S in eq. 2 into eq. 1, you can solve for M.
1.
Now you know Martha's lunch was $1.82, use eq. 2 to solve for Sally's cost,
2.
Sally paid $3.82.
