Question

the cost of endless chicken wings at restaurant x is $10. the cost of chicken wings a chicken wings at either restaurant can be represented by an equation. write and graph same at both restaurants. you have to have \\(\square\\) chicken wings for the cost to be the same at both restaurants. (type a whole number.)

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables and equations

Let $n$ = number of wings, $C$ = total cost.

• Restaurant X (endless): $C = 10$
• Restaurant Y (per wing): From the graph, the blue line has slope $\frac{16}{24} = \frac{2}{3}$, so $C = \frac{2}{3}n$

Step2: Set costs equal to solve for $n$

$$10 = \frac{2}{3}n$$
Multiply both sides by $\frac{3}{2}$:
$$n = 10 \times \frac{3}{2}$$

Step3: Calculate the value of $n$

$$n = 15$$

Answer:

15
