Question

At a particular restaurant, each onion ring has 45 calories and each mozzarella stick has 90 calories. A combination meal with onion rings and mozzarella sticks is shown to have 810 total calories and 4 times as many onion rings as there are mozzarella sticks. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number of onion rings in the combination meal, x, and the number of mozzarella sticks in the combination meal, y.

Answer 1

Answer:

50x plus 51c

Step-by-step explanation:

9 mozzarella sticks and 3 onion rings

Answer 2

Answer:

3 mozzarella sticks and 12 onion rings in a combo meal

Full Step-by-step explanation:

We can assign variables for # of mozzarella sticks. We can assign m for mozzarella sticks. Since the combo meal has 810 calories and 4 times as many onion rings as mozzarella sticks we can make this equation : 90m+45(4m) = 810

First, we need to distribute into the parenthesis to get

90m+180m=810

We can divide each side by 270 to get

m = 3!

This means there are 4m onion rings which means there are 12 onion rings!

To double check, we can plug these values back in to get

45(12)+3(90)=810

Distributing into the parenthesis gives us

540+270=810

This simplifies into

810=810

So we are correct!
