    Let the number of orders Eric served be x

    Eric = x

    Mai = x + 8 [Mai served 8 more than Eric]

    Dean = 3x [Dean served 3 times as many as Eric]

    Given that the total is 103

    x + x + 8 + 3x = 103

    5x + 8 = 103

    5x = 103 - 8

    5x = 95

    x = 19

    x = 19

    x + 8 = 19 + 8 = 27

    3x = 19 x 3 = 57

    Eric served 19

    Mai served 27

    Dean served 57
