Question 434029
Ann is responsible for ordering a week's supply of meat and fish for the main dishes at a local restaurant. 
The fish costs twice as much as the meat. 
Let meat cost be "m"
Then fish cost is "2m"
-------------------------------
She needs to order 164 meat selections and 24 fish selections. Her budget is $4240. How much can Ann spend on each type of main dish? 
------------------------------
Equation:
164m + 24(2m) = 4240
---
164m + 48m = 4240
212m = 4240
m = $20 (average price of the meat selections)
2m = $40 (average price of the fish selections)
