To determine the number of burgers, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information.

Let x be the number of burgers and y be the number of fries.

We know that the total number of items ordered was 22. This information can be translated into the equation: x + y = 22

We also know that each burger costs $5 and each order of fries costs $3. Thus, the equation representing the total costs can be written as: 5x + 3y = 94, then

1. Solve the first equation for y: y = 22 - x

2. Substitute y into the second equation: 5x + 3 (22 - x) = 94
