Explanation:

Find amount of calories in one serving

3,600 / 8 = 450

If they eats 5 servings of Sour Patch kids, how many calories do they eat?

5 * 450 = 2,250 calories

If they want to eat 675 calories of Sour Patch kids, how many servings should they eat?

675 / 450 = 1.5 servings

Write an equation to represent the relationship between the number of calories (c) and the number of servings of Sour Patch kids (s)

c = 450s
