Alan is serving his child french fries and chicken wings for lunch today. Let f be the number of french fries in the lunch, and let c be the number of chicken wings. Each french fry has 25 calories, and each chicken wing has 100 calories. Alan wants the total calorie count from the french fries and chicken wings to be less than 500 calories. Using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing this.

Question

nubeer · Answer

fries calories = 25c .. (It means 25 calories in each fry)
do you agree?

anonymous · Answer

calories in a fry = 25
for the total fries there will be 25f calories

anonymous · Answer

same as chicken wings, 100c

anonymous · Answer

100c + 25f must be less than 500,
so 100c+ 25f < 500

anonymous · Answer

this can be simplified to be $$25(4c + f)<500$$

anonymous · Answer

$$\frac{ 25( 4c + f)}{ 25 } <\frac{ 500 }{ 25 }$$

anonymous · Answer

4c + f < 20

anonymous · Answer

did you get that?
