Question 1112079: You are selling hot dogs and sodas. Each hot dog costs $1.50 and each soda costs $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50. You sold a total of 87 hot dogs combined. How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold? Write a linear system of equations that can be used to solve this problem. Answer by ikleyn(52788) (Show Source):
Let x be the number of hot dogs and y be the number of sodas.
Then the system of two equations that the problem requests to write is
x + y = 87 (the number of items sold)
1.50*x + 0.50*y = 78.50 (the revenue in dollars)
Since the problem does not ask to solve it, I will stop here.
