    Let:

    f = fancy restaurant price

    c = cafeteria price

    f = 3c

    f = 36

    c = 36/3 = 12

    36 + 12*4 = 84

    she spends 84 on lunches for a fiveday workweek

    In this item, we first solve for the cost of eating in a cafeteria. From the given it is stated that the cost of eating in a fancy restaurant is 3 times the cost of eating in cafeteria. Mathematically,

    3x = 36

    where x is the cost of eating in cafeteria.

    The value of x from the equation is 12.

    In a five-day workweek, she eats at the fancy restaurant once and four times in cafeteria. To determine the total cost,

    T = 4 (12) + 36

    T = 84

    Thus, the answer to this item is 84.
