Question 831706: Each day Sal prepares a large basket of self-serve tortilla chips in his restaurant. On Monday, 40 adult patrons and 15 child patrons ate 10.8 kg of chips. On Tuesday, 35 adult patrons and 22 child patrons ate 12.29 kg of chips. Write two equations that would be used to solve the system so that Sal would know whether adults or children eat more chips on average.
