Restaurant has an early bird special of $7 per plate before 4 PM. The regular price after 4 PM is $9 per plate. If the restaurant sold 93 plates and made $733, how many of those plates were early bird specials

the early bird special plate is 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the early bird special be x

And, regualr price be y

Now the equations are

x + y = 93

7x + 9y = 733

Now multiply by 7 in equation (1)

7x + 7y = 651

7x + 9y = 733

Now subtract these two equations

-2y = 82

y = 41

x = 93  - 41

= 52

hence, the early bird special plate is 52
