Prices are p and 2p.

Using the variables in your description and the assigned variable p, the soda price,

Solve this for p.
Most important is to be able to make the equation just shown.

(price for hot dogs and soda were not specified in either dollars or cents; only as price without which denomination. Result for p is therefore not clear if for cents or dollars per soda).
(d DOLLARS taken in by sales of h and s. Question was how many CENTS for one soda.)
