For this case the first thing we must do is define variables. Whe have then: x: payment of the person 1
y: payment of the person 2
We then have the following system of equations:
[tex] x / y = 2/3
x = 52.20 [/tex] We have then that the value of y is:
y = 78.3 Then, the cost of the food is:
x + y = 78.3 + 52.20 = 130.5 ** Answer: **
** The cost of the food is: **
** 130.5**

The total cost of the meal shared between two people in the ratio of 2:3 with one person paying £52.20 is £130.50. This was calculated by finding the value of x from the payment of the first person and then computing the second person's payment. The total was then found by adding both amounts together.
