Answer 50

but how do i get the sugar amount?

Answer 52

how do i do that?

Answer 53

the toatal number of calories is given by the equation y = 16x + 560

Answer 54

if x = no of teaspoons then:
total no of calories in 1 teaspoon = 16 (1) + 560 = 16 + 560 = 576
total no. of calories in 2 teaspopons = 16(2) + 560 = 32 + 560 = 592
total no. of calories in 3 teaspoons = 16(3) + 560 = 48 + 560 = 608
total no. of calories in 4 teaspoons = 16(4) + 560 = 64 + 560 = 624
