An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

The catering service made a total of 560 cups of tea and coffee. They were served in ratio 5:3 Hence:

Number of tea = (5/8) * 560 = 350

Number of coffee = (3/8) * 560 = 210

Total bill = (£1 * 350 cups) + (£1.5 * 210 cups) = £665

The total bill for the tea and coffee is £665.
