Question

Julia went to the grocery store and purchased cans of soup and frozen dinners. Each

can of soup has 350 mg of sodium and each frozen dinner has 500 mg of sodium.
Julia purchased twice as many cans of soup as frozen dinners and they all collectively
contain 4800 mg of sodium. Write a system of equations that could be used to
determine the number of cans of soup purchased and the number of frozen dinners
purchased. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

2f =c

350c + 500f = 4800

Explanation:

Twice as many cans of soup as frozen dinners

All food combined contain 4800 (mg of sodium)

2f =c

350c + 500f = 4800

These are the systems of equations.
