Answer:

There were 2 sliders and 10 chicken wings in the combination meal.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Calories in one slider = 250 calories

Calories in chicken wing = 60 calories

Total calories in meal = 110 calories

Number of items in meal = 12

Let x be the number of slider in the meal and let y be the number of chicken wings.

Then, according to the question:

[tex]x + y =12 \\250x + 60y = 1100[/tex]

Solving these equations simultaneously, we get:

[tex]y = 12 - x\\250x + 60(12 - x) = 1100\\190x = 380\\x = 2\\\text{Putting this value in the equation, we get}\\y = 10[/tex]

Thus, there were 2 sliders and 10 chicken wings in the combination meal.
