Answer:

a. 48 salads were bought on Wednesday

b. 42 chickens were bought on Thursday

c. 39 cheese were bought on Friday

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]------- M -- T - W -- T -- F[/tex]

Cheese ----- 50 -- 45 - 52 - 47 --39

Salad -------- 61 -- 44 - - 48 - 38 -- 51

Chicken ---- 53 -- 46 - - 39 - 42 -- 52

First, it should be noted that the horizontal data represent the row while the vertical data represent the column.

Having said that, the solution is as follows:

Solving (a): Second Row, Third column

The data at the second row are:

[tex]------- M -- T - W -- T -- F[/tex]

Salad -------- 61 -- 44 - - 48 - 38 -- 51

The data at the third column is then limited to:

------------------W

Salad -------- 48

So the number at this position implies that: 48 salads were bought on Wednesday

Solving (b): Third Row, Fourth column

The data at the second row are:

[tex]------- M -- T - W -- T -- F[/tex]

Chicken ---- 53 -- 46 - - 39 - 42 -- 52

The data at the fourth column is then limited to:

------------------- T

Chicken ---- 42

So the number at this position implies that: 42 chickens were bought on Thursday

Solving (c): First Row, Fifth column

The data at the first row are:

[tex]------- M -- T - W -- T -- F[/tex]

Cheese ----- 50 -- 45 - 52 - 47 --39

The data at the fifth column is then limited to:

------------------F

Cheese ----- 39

So the number at this position implies that: 39 cheese were bought on Friday
