Nope. 16 chicken strips.
Better review your work.
The math club had a lunch meeting where the attendees ordered either a hamburger for $2.50 or chicken strips for $3.25. The bill for the 25 lunches was $74.50. The system of equations below represents this situation.
2.50x + 3.25y = 74.50
---------------------
x + y = 25
How many hamburgers were ordered for lunch?
-9
-13
-16<---?
-22

Ah, so it's A, 9?
Lemme see
9 + 16 = 25 sure enough
2.5 * 9 + 3.25 * 16 = 74.5
which you could have done.
If you are stuck, ask for help. If you need an answer checked, first check it.

I still don't know the answer to this. Was the answer 16? I thought it was 9;.
The answer is 9.
If the hamburgers are $2.50, and the chicken strips $3.25, then,
$2.50 * 9 + $3.25 * 16 = $74.50
If the hamburgers are $2.50, and the chicken strips $3.25, then,
$2.50 * 9 + $3.25 * 16 = $74.50
