    This is a classic problem where you need to figure out the fixed profit based on the given prices of the individual items and combo. The solution works by calculating the profit separately for each item and then solving for the fixed profit. It's a simple set of equations that gets you the answer.

    Speaking of food, I recently went to Shake Shack Restaurant and grabbed their combo meal—it reminded me of this exact scenario. I’ve always wondered how much profit they’re making, especially considering how good their burgers and shakes are. If only they made it as easy as this math problem!
