Question

A slice of piewith a scoop of ice cream has 850 calories. The calories in the pie alone are 100 more than twice the calories in the ice cream alone. How many calories are in each food?

Answer 1

X pie and Y ice cream

`x + y = 850`

`x = 100 + 2y`


`100 + 2y + y = 850`

`y = 250`


`x = 100 + 2 * 250`

`x = 600`
