Sue wants to plan a meal with 71 grams of fat and 1755 calories. If hot dogs have 13 grams of fat and 145 calories each and if baked beans have 8 grams of fat and 330 calories per half-cup serving, how many hot dogs and servings of beans should she use?

Sue must use 3 hotdogs and 4 half-cup serving of baked beans.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hot dogs be represented by h

Let the number of baked beans be represented by b

Hot dogs have 13 grams of fat and 145 calories each

Baked beans have 8 grams of fat and 330 calories per half cup serving

Sue wants to plan a meal with 71 grams of fat and 1755 calories.

Grams of Fat from Hotdog + grams of fat from baked beans=71

13h+8b=71(I)

Similarly,

Calories from hot dog + Calories from baked beans=1755

145h+330b=1755(II)

We then solve Equations (I) and (II) simultaneously.

13h+8b=71(I)

145h+330b=1755(II)

Multiply equation 1 by 145 and equation 2 by 13

1885h+1160b=10295

1885h+4290b=22815

Subtracting

-3130b=-12520

b=4

Substitute b=4 into (I)

13h+(8X4)=71

13h=71-32

13h=39

h=3

Sue must use 3 hotdogs and 4 half-cup serving of baked beans.

i would go with the first one
