Question

Moss and Roy both decide to go out for a 2 course dinner. Moss' meal cost twice as much as Roy's meal, however Roy spent $3 more than Moss for his dessert. Moss spent $11 on his desert. The bill came to $75. How much did Roy spend for his meal and dessert?

Answer 1

for the dinners,
m = 2r

adding in the desserts, get the total:
m + 11 + r + 11+3 = 75

now just solve for r and add in the $14 for dessert.

I suspect a typo, since the answer isn't what I'd expect.

Of course, the typo might be mine . . .
