Question

Suppose you have ordered one medium onion ring and one 16oz chocolate shake from Burger King. The onion rings have 19 grams of fat and the shake has 23 grams of fat. If each cheeseburger has 13 grams of fat, how many cheeseburgers can you order and still keep the total fat content of the meal to no more than 81 grams?

Part A: Write the question/inequality for the situation.

Part B: Solve part A, Explain or show your work for full credit.

Part C: Interpret the meaning of the solution from part B.​

Answer 1

Part A:

23 + 13x ≤ 81

Part B:

23 + 13x ≤ 81

-23 -23

13x ≤ 58

/13 /13

x ≤ 4.46

Part C:

This means that you can have 4 cheeseburgers while keeping the fat under 81 grams.
