Question 1096741
.
<pre>
From the condition, you have these two equations (the system of two equations)

   3*b +    2*p = 8*60      (1)    (minutes)
0.25*b + 0.20*p =   44      (2)    (dollars)


where b = # of bowls,  p = # of plates.  Simplify

   3b +  2p =  480,         (3)
  25b + 20p = 4400.         (4)


Setup is done. Solve it by any method you know. Eliminating of "p" seems to be attractive.
