Answer:

the  number of meals that yolanda sold is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the number of meals that yolanda sold is shown below:

Given that

The total meals sold is 122

Let yolanda meals be x

So jackie meals would be 3x

And, thomas meals be x + 2

So according to this

the equation is

x + 3x + x + 2 = 122

5x + 2 = 122

5x = 120

x = 24

Hence, the  number of meals that yolanda sold is 24
