Question

2 Two burgers and three fries have 1740 calories. A burger has 170 more calories than a fry. How many

calories are in each?

Answer 1

Burger Calories Individual: 450

Fry Calories Indicidual: 280

Explanation:

First, since there are 2 burgers and each burger has 170 more calories, we will subtract 170 + 170.

170 + 170 = 340.

1740 - 340 = 1400 ( this makes it good for the next part )

Since we have 2 burgers and 3 fries, that will be 5 in total.

All we will have to do is divide 1400 by 5 to get our answer.

1400 ÷ 5 = 280.

Now we know that each of the fries had 280 calories.

280 + 170 = 450 ( add 170 because the instructions say the burger had 170 calories more. )

Therefore, the burgers each had 450 calories and the fries each had 280.
