At a particular restaurant, each onion ring has 45 calories and each chicken wing has 65 calories. A combination meal with onion rings and chicken wings is shown to have 775 total calories and 5 more onion rings than chicken wings. Determine the number of onion rings in the combination meal and the number of chicken wings in the combination meal.

There was 10 onion rings and 5 chicken wings in the combination meal.

Let x represent the number of onion rings and y represent the number of chicken wings in the combination meal.

There are 5 more onion rings than chicken wings. Hence:

x = y + 5

x - y = 5     (1)

The combination meal has 775 total calories. Hence:

45x + 65y = 775  (2)

Solving equations 1 and 2 simultaneously gives:

x = 10, y = 5

There was 10 onion rings and 5 chicken wings in the combination meal.
