Know: 17.35 is equivalent to 4 burgers 3 med fries
6.09 Is equivalent to 1 burger med fries
9.34 8s equivalent to 2 burgers med fries and med drink
So what you want to do is take 6.09 and subtract it from 9.34 which is 3.25. Now 3.25 is your burger price.
What you want to do now is take your 3.25 and multiply it by 4 which would be 13. 17.35 subtract 13 would be 4.
4 divided by 3 is 1.33 which is now the price of a med fries.
now for the drink. 3.25 plus 1.33 is 4.58.
6.09 subtract 4.58 is 1.51
Now you have 3.25 as your burger
