Answer:

Hong = 25

Pablo = 100

Lashonda = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Hong's order be x , since Pablo served 4 times as many as Hong , then Pablo's order is 4x , also , since Lashonda served 7 fewer than Hong , it means Lashonda's order is x - 7 . combining all

Hong's orders = x

Pablo's order = 4x

Lashonda's order = x - 7

Total order = 143

Then

x + 4x + x - 7 = 143

6x - 7 = 143

6x = 143 + 7

6x = 150

x = 25

Therefore :

Hong served 25 orders

Pablo served 24x 4 orders = 100 orders

Lashonda served 25 - 7 orders = 18 orders
