The caloric content of each item should be considered as the 260 and 370 when there should be total calories of 890.

Let uas assume the cheese burgers be x

And, the french fries be y

So as per the question, the following equation should be made

2x + y = 890.........(1)

3x + 2y = 1520.................(2)

Now multiply by 2 in equation 1

4x + 2y = 1780

3x + 2y = 1520

x = 1780 - 1520

x = 260

And,

2(260) + y = 890

So, y = 370

hence, The caloric content of each item should be considered as the 260 and 370.
