Since there is a $5 delivery charge, Valerie will surely spend those money.
Also, since a salad costs $7, and Valerie buys 3 of them, she will spend 21 more dollars.
So, salads and delivery charge sum up to [tex] 21+5 = 26 [/tex]
This means that Valerie has [tex] 50-26 = 24 [/tex] dollars left. A drink costs $3, so she can buy
[tex] \dfrac{24}{3} = 7 [/tex] drinks.
