Answer

Find out the  how many orders did they each serve .

To prove

Let us assume that the tony served be = x

As given

Laura,Ahmad,and Tony served a total of 94 orders Monday at the school cafeteria.

Ahmad served 3 times as many orders as Tony. Laura served 9 more orders than Tony.

Let us assume that the Ahmad served be = 3x

Let us assume that the Laura served be = 9 + x

Than the equation becomes

x + 3x + 9 + x = 94                    

5x = 94 -  9

5x = 85

[tex]x = \frac{85}{5}[/tex]    

x = 17

Tony served order  be = 17

Ahmad served order be = 3 × 17

                                      =  51

Laura served order be = 9 + x

                                       = 9 + 17

                                       = 26

Therefore the Tony served order is 17 , Ahmad served order is 51 and

Laura served order is 26 .
