Question

vance ate a salad and 4/5 of a turkey burger for dinner. the salad contained 80 calories and his entire meal contained 440 calories. which equation can be used to determine x, the number of calories in the entire turkey burger?

Answer 1

The total calorie of the entire meal is 440 and this is the sum of the calorie contained in 4/5 of the calories in the burger and the calories in salad. If we let x be the amount of calorie in the burger, the equation that would best represent the scenario is,
                                     440 = 80 + 4x/5

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{4x}{5}+80=440$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the turkey burger be x

That means $\frac{4}{5}\text{of turkey burger is}\frac{4x}{5}And calories taken from salad was 80.We have the information that the total calories were 440The required equation which will be used to find the x is:[tex]\frac{4x}{5}+80=440$
