Question 760378
Charlene had a Cobb salad and a iced tea for lunch. The number of calories in bottle of iced tea was 4/7 the number of calories in the Cobb salad.If charlene lunch had 440 calories in all,how many calories were in the iced tea. write an equation.
---------------------------
t = (4/7)s
t + s = 440
------
Substitute for "s" and solve for "t":
------
t + (7/4)t = 440
(11/4)t = 440
(1/4)t = 40
t = 160 (iced tea has 160 calories)
---
s = 280 (Cobb salad has 280 calories)
