To determine the number of lunch orders taken that day, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's start by assigning variables:
- "catch of the day" orders = 24
- total lunch orders = x
According to the problem, the number of "catch of the day" orders represents 2/9 of the total lunch orders x. This can be expressed as:
(2/9) * x = 24
This equation represents that the number of "catch of the day" orders is equal to 2/9 of the total lunch orders. By solving this equation, we can determine the value of x, which represents the total lunch orders taken that day.
