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

It is given that Total Calories in the meal = 333

Calories per Grilled Chicken Strip = 110

# of Grilled Chicken Strips = x

Calories per Carrot = 29

# of Carrots = y

So the above information can be represented as:

Total Calories = (Calories per Grilled Chicken Strip × Number of Chicken Strips) + (Calories per Carrot × Number of Carrots)

Substituting the values in the above equation.

⇒ 333 = 110 × x + 29 × y

⇒ 110 × x + 29 × y = 333. This equation is in standard form, as an equation in standard form has the format Ax + By = C.

Out of the below options

(A) 110y = –29x + 333

(B) 29x + 110y = 333

(C) 29y = –110x + 333

(D) 110x + 29y = 333

So the standard form of equation matches with option (D), and hence the correct answer is 110x + 29y = 333
