Question

The difference in the total number of calories in a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly is 3,545. The sandwich that Julio made contained a total of 430 calories from the peanut butter and jelly alone, which was StartFraction 2 Over 23 EndFraction of the jar of peanut butter and StartFraction 2 Over 33 EndFraction of the jar of jelly. Which system of equations can be used to determine the total number of calories in the jar of peanut butter, x, and the total number of calories in the jar of jelly, y? x minus y = 3545 and StartFraction 2 Over 23 EndFraction x StartFraction 2 Over 33 EndFraction y = 430 x minus y = 3,545 and StartFraction 2 Over 33 EndFraction x StartFraction 2 Over 23 EndFraction y = 430 x y = 3,545 and StartFraction 2 Over 23 EndFraction x StartFraction 2 Over 33 EndFraction y = 430 x y = 3,545 and StartFraction 2 Over 33 EndFraction x StartFraction 2 Over 23 EndFraction y = 430.

Answer 1

Answer:

the total number of calories in the jar of peanut butter, x, and the total number of calories in the jar of jelly, y

The difference in the total number of calories in a jar of peanut butter and a jar of jelly is 3,545

Now we use total calories ,which was 2/23 of the jar of peanut butter and 2/33 of the jar of jelly

x minus y = 3545 and StartFraction 2 Over 23 EndFraction x + StartFraction 2 Over 33 EndFraction y = 430
