1 A new intern in a design firm, Isaac, was tasked to buy lunch for his team of 6 members
(including himself) everyday. The staff canteen offers 3 dishes: Chicken Rice, Fried Noodles
and Nasi Lemak. The purchases he made over 3 days are summarised in the table below.








Find the price for each dish and hence find how much he would have spent if he bought 2
packets of Chicken Rice, 3 packets of Fried Noodles and 1 packet of Nasi Lemak on Day 4. [5]
