Question 1046167: A hot dog cart at the entrance of a Stadium sells hot dogs for $3.50, and hamburger for $5.25, for a total of $1,225.00. If it sells twice as many hot dogs as hamburgers, how many of each did it sell?

Let b represent hamburgers. Then hot dogs are 2b. So:
5.25b+3.5(2b)=1225
12.25b=1225
b=100
The cart sold 100 hamburgers and 200 hot dogs. ☺☺☺☺
