Answer:

  B)  100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let c represent the number of chicken meals ordered. Then 150-c is the number of beef meals ordered, and the total meal cost is ...

  4c +6(150-c) = 700

  -2c = -200 . . . . . . . . subtract 900, simplify

  c = -200/-2 = 100

100 chicken meals were ordered.
