\n" ); document.write( "
Let cost of the hotdog be H
\n" ); document.write( "Then cost of drink = 2H, and cost of nachos = 3H + 2.50
\n" ); document.write( "With total cost being $20.50, we get: H + 2H + 3H + 2.5 = 20.5
\n" ); document.write( "6H = 18
\n" ); document.write( "Cost of the hotdog, or \"highlight_green%28matrix%281%2C5%2C+H%2C+%22=%22%2C+18%2F6%2C+%22=%22%2C+%22%243%22%29%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Do you now think you can find the cost of the drink and the nachos?\r
