Question

Will’s meal of grilled chicken strips and carrots contained a total of 333 calories. The bag of grilled chicken strips contained x servings of 110 calories each. The bag of carrots contained y servings of 29 calories each. Which equation written in standard form represents the number of servings of chicken strips and carrots that Will may have eaten?

110y = –29x + 333
29x + 110y = 333
29y = –110x + 333
110x + 29y = 333

Answer 1

110x + 29y = 333

Explanation: 110 calories per chicken serving times x plus 29 calories per carrot serving times y equals the total 333, written in standard form ax + by = c.
