Question

Sue wants to plan a meal with 68 grams of fat and 1240 calories. If hot dogs have 13 grams of fat and 145 calories each and if baked beans have 8 grams of fat and 330 calories per half-cup serving, how many hot dogs and servings of beans should she use?

Answer 1

She should use 4 grams of fat, and 2 calories per half cup serving

What are systems of equations?

This is a group of equations which may have none, one or more solutions.

From the question, we have the following system of equations

$13x+8y=68$

$145x+330y=1240$

Where:

x represents the grams of fats, and y represents the number of calories

Next, we plot the graph of both equations (see attachment)

From the attachment, the solution to the system is:

(x,y) = (4,2)

Hence, she should use 4 grams of fat, and 2 calories per half cup serving
