At a particular restaurant, each chicken wing has 80 calories and each
slider has 300 calories. A combination meal with sliders and chicken
wings is shown to have 1360 total calories and twice as many sliders as
there are chicken wings. Write a system of equations that could be
used to determine the number of chicken wings in the combination
meal and the number of sliders in the combination meal. Define the
variables that you use to write the system.

Answer:

300s +80c= 1360

s= 2c

where s is the number of sliders and c is the number of chicken wings

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of sliders and chicken wings be s and c respectively.

Total number of calories= number of food item ×calories of food item

300s +80c= 1360 -----(1)

s= 2c -----(2)

_____

To find for the number of chicken wings and sliders, we can solve the equation by substitution method.

Substitute (2) into (1):

300(2c) +80c= 1360

600c +80c= 1360

Simplify:

680c= 1360

Divide both sides by 680:

c= 1360 ÷680

c= 2

Substitute c= 2 into (2):

s= 2(2)

s= 4

Thus, there are 2 chicken wings and 4 sliders in the combination meal.
