At a particular restaurant, each chicken wing has 80 calories and each slider has 300 calories. A combination meal with sliders and chicken wings is shown to have 1360 total calories and twice as many sliders as there are chicken wings. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of chicken wings in the combination meal and the number of sliders in the combination meal. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Respuesta :

Answer:

let a = each chicken wing in a meal

let b= each slider in a meal

80a+300b=1360

b=2a

Step-by-step explanation:

80a+300b=1360 b=2a

The system of equations that could be used to determine the number of chicken wings(x) and the number of sliders(y) in the combination meal are; 80x + 300y = 1360 and y = 2x

Let each chicken wing be represented as x

Let each slider be represented as y

We are told that;

Number of calories for each chicken wing = 80 calories

Number of calories for each slider = 300 calories

  • A combination meal of both shows that there were 1360 calories.

Thus;

80x + 300y = 1360 - - -(eq 1)

  • Also it shows that there are twice as many sliders as there are chicken wings.

Thus;

y = 2x - - - (eq 2)
