The maximum daily intake of cholesterol is 300 mg. Three ounces of shrimp and two ounces of scallops together contain 156 mg of cholesterol. Also five ounces of shrimp and 3 ounces of scallops together are 45 mg below the maximum daily intake for cholesterol. Determine the cholesterol in one ounce of shrimp and one ounce of scallops. (Note this becomes a system of two linear equations.)
 
What are your unknowns? What variables have you chosen for them? What equations have you created?

Please be specific. Thank you.
