On Boxing Day, I went with my family to the Nottingham Winter Wonderland.
While in the Alpine style bar I bought 2 mulled wines, a hot spiced apple juice, 1 fully loaded raclette fries (shown in the picture above) and one ham and mushroom pizza. The total cost of these was £27.50.
In a slightly contrived situation the tables around me bought the following with the associated total cost:
Table in front: 1 ham and mushroom pizza, 4 mulled wines, 3 hot spiced apple juices and 2 fully loaded fries. £50.50
Table behind: 1 hot spiced apple juice, 1 fully loaded fries. £10.50
Table to the left: 3 hot spiced apple juices, 2 fully loaded fries. £23.50.
The question is: “How much did each item cost?” Of course I would like to know the cost of each item (my memory and keeping of receipts is poor!) but I am really more interested in the method used to get the answer…

Do you mean the pizzas to be the same? One ham and tomato for you, and ham and mushroom for the table in front…?
Yes. Thanks I’ll update to make that clear 😉
Updated so both are ham and mushroom! Sorry about that 😉
