Question

At a particular restaurant, each onion ring has 70 calories and each slider has 200

calories. A combination meal with onion rings and sliders is shown to have 1020 total
calories and twice as many onion rings as there are sliders. Write a system of
equations that could be used to determine the number of onion rings in the
combination meal and the number of sliders in the combination meal. Define the
variables that you use to write the system.

Answer 1

6 onion rings and 3 sliders

Explanation:

x+y=1020

x=sliders calories

y=onion rings calories

x= y divided by 2

y= x multiplied by 2

sliders=200 calories

onion rings= 70 calories

3 sliders= 600 calories

6 onion rings=420 calories

if we add these together then we get 1020
