Question

Max purchased a box of green tea mints. The nutrition label on the box stated that a serving of three mints contains a total of 10 calories. Write an equation that represents C(x), where C(x) represents the number of Calories in x mins. A full box of mints contains 180 calories. Determine the total number of mints in the box.

Answer 1

C(x)= 180 we know 3 mints=10 cal. so if there's 180 cals. 18*3= 54 hope I helped.

Answer 2

ok so 3 mints=10 calories
if you input 3 for number of mints, ou get 10 for caloires
10=k3
divide both sides by 3
10/3=k

therfor
C(x)=(10/3)x

full box =180 caloies
therefor
full=180=(10/3)x
multiplyboth sides by 3/10 to clear fraction (since 10/3 times 3/10=30/30=1)
540/10=x
54=x

ANSWER
equation is
c(x)=(10/3)x
54 mints per box
