Let price of one soda be p.
          QUANTITY   PRICE(cents)     REVENUE SALES

HOT DOGS     h       2p                2hp

SODAS        s       p                  sp

TOTAL                                     d

2hp%2Bsp=d

p%282h%2Bs%29=d

highlight_green%28p=d%2F%282h%2Bs%29%29------formula, price for one soda
