Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. Each slider has225 calories. Each chicken wing has70 calories3. The combination meal contains a total of10 sliders and chicken wings4. The combination meal contains a total of1165 calories
STEP 2
Let's define the variables. Let represent the number of sliders and represent the number of chicken wings.
STEP 3
We can write the first equation based on the total number of sliders and chicken wings. The sum of the number of sliders and chicken wings is10.
STEP 4
We can write the second equation based on the total number of calories. The sum of the calories from the sliders and the chicken wings is116. Since each slider has225 calories and each chicken wing has70 calories, we can express this as
STEP 5
Our system of equations is then\begin{cases} s + w =10\\225s +70w =1165\end{cases}
