Algebra.Com's Answer #83824 by princess08(3) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let x be the number of hotdogs. \n" ); document.write( "Since the total number of hotdogs and hamburgers is 1300, let 1300-x be the number of hamburgers. \n" ); document.write( "The price of hotdogs is .59, so the price of the purchased hotdogs will be .59*x. \n" ); document.write( "The price of hamburgers is .98, so the price of the purchased hamburgers will be .98*(1300-x). \n" ); document.write( "The total price is 962.00. \n" ); document.write( "Thus, (.59*x)+(.98*(1300-x))=962.00 \n" ); document.write( ".59x + 1274 - .98x = 962 \n" ); document.write( "-.39x = -312 \n" ); document.write( "x= 800. \n" ); document.write( "1300-x= 500. \n" ); document.write( "Therefore, there are 800 hotdogs and 500 hamburgers. \n" ); document.write( " |
