Question

martina is serving her child french fries and chicken wings for lunch today. the table below shows the number of calories in each french fry and each chicken wing.

	french fry	chicken wing

let ( f ) be the number of french fries in the lunch.
let ( c ) be the number of chicken wings in the lunch.

martina wants the total calorie count to be less than 700 calories. using the values and variables given, write an inequality describing this.

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate calories from fries

Each fry has 35 calories, so \( f \) fries have \( 35f \) calories.

Step2: Calculate calories from wings

Each wing has 110 calories, so \( c \) wings have \( 110c \) calories.

Step3: Total calories and inequality

Total calories: \( 35f + 110c \). Want total < 700, so \( 35f + 110c < 700 \).

Answer:

\( 35f + 110c < 700 \)
