Question

Jamal goes to a fast food restaurant and orders some tacos and burritos. He sees on the nutrition

menu that tacos are 200 calories and burritos are 370 calories. If he ordered 6 items and consumed
a total of 1880 calories, how many tacos and how many burritos did Jamal order and eat?

Answer 1

Therefore, if c represents the the number of calories in a taco, then the number of calories in a burrito can be represented as 6c.

Explanation:

A taco has the calories of a burrito. This statement can be translated directly to the equation below.

Substitute c into the equation to represent the calories in a taco.

Divide both sides by .

{1}/{6}

Therefore, if c represents the the number of calories in a taco, then the number of calories in a burrito can be represented as 6c.
