Question

The cost of endless chicken wings at Restaurant X is $4. The cost of chicken wings at Restaurant Z is 20 cent per wing plus a $1.60 charge for sauce. The total cost, c, of n chicken wings at either restaurant can be represented by an equation. Write and graph a system to find how many chicken wings you have to have for the cost to be the same at both restaurants.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Equation: $4 = 0.2x + $1.60

1. Subtract $1.60 from both sides to get $2.4 = 0.2x

2. Divide both sides by 0.2 to get the value of x. 12 = x.

ANSWER: You need to buy 12 chicken wings at restaurant Z for the cost to be the same. Hope this helped
