If 3 fried eggs plus 4 slices of bacon has a total of 510 calories and 4 fried eggs plus 1 slice of bacon has a total of 485 calories, how many calories are in a fried egg?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
b = the number of calories in 1 slice bacon
e = the number of calories in 1 fried egg
3 fried eggs plus 4 slices of bacon has a total of 510 calories
3e + 4b = 510
4 fried eggs plus 1 slice of bacon has a total of 485 calories
4e + b = 485
by solving the system of equations
3e + 4b = 510
4e + b = 485
we find
e = 110 calories
