Answer 1

Restaurant A and C: 23 grams of fat

Restaurant B: 31 grams of fat

Answer 2

Restaurant A's chicken salad has 7.7 grams of fat.

Restaurant​ B's chicken salad has 61.6 grams of fat.

Restaurant​ C's chicken salad has 7.7 grams of fat.

Explanation:

Restaurant A = C

Restaurant B = 8 × Restaurant A

Total Grams of Salad = 77

Let Reataurat A and C be x

and Reataurant B be 8x

so

A + B + C = 77

x + 8x + x = 77

2x + 8x = 77

10x = 77

x = 77 ÷ 10

x = 7.7

Restaurant A's chicken salad has 7.7 grams of fat.

Restaurant​ B's chicken salad has 61.6 grams of fat.

Restaurant​ C's chicken salad has 7.7 grams of fat.

If u want to crass check so

7.7 + 61.6 + 7.7 =

69.3 + 7.7 =

= 77
