Question

the calorie cafe is known for their hotdogs and burgers. the number of calories in a burger is 220 more than the number of calories in a hotdog. the mega meal, which consists of 2 hotdogs and a burger, contains 1420 calories! how many calories are in each item?

Answer 1

Answer:

• Number of calories in burger = 620 calories

• Number of calories in hotdog = 400 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of calories in burger = x

Number of calories in hotdog = y

y = x - 220

x + 2y = 1,420

Substitution:

x + 2 * (x - 220) = 1,420

x + 2x - 440 = 1,420

3x = 1,420 + 440

x = 1,860 / 3

x = 620 calories

y = x - 220

= 620 - 220

= 400 calories
