    Roasted Steak RS=14.47

    Grilled Salmon GS = 25.21

    Step-by-step explanation:

    It's a 2 equation system as follows

    E1-> 17RS+14GS=598.95

    E2-> 28RS+7GS=581.64

    We assume the system has only one solution and apply the following calculation to create a single equation

    E3 - > 2x E2 - E1

    That way the only incognit will be RS

    (28x2 - 17) RS + (7x2 - 14) GS = 581,64x2 - 598,95

    39RS = 564,33

    We solve for RS and then use E1 to solve for GS and E2 to check the answers
