Question

A bag of baby carrots and a container of hummus dip contain a total of 650 calories. For a snack, Rosarita ate of the bag of carrots and of the container of hummus. Her snack contained a total of 260 calories. If x represents the total number of calories in the bag of carrots and y represents the total number of calories in the container of hummus, what is one of the equations for this scenario? X+y=650 x+y=260

Answer 1

x+y=650

Explanation:

its right on edge 8th grade math

Answer 2

`x + y = 650`

Explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Total calories in a bag of carrot and a container of hummus dip = 650

Rosarita's snack:

Some of the bag of carrots and some of the container of hummus.

Total calories in Rosarita's snack = 260

Let x represents the total number of calories in the bag of carrots and y represents the total number of calories in the container of hummus.

Then, we can write the following equation to represent total number of calories in both a bag of carrot and a container of hummus dip:

`x + y = 650`

Since Rosarita did not eat the whole bag of carrot and the whole container of hummus and also x and y are the total calories in whole bag of carrot and container of hummus respectively.
