You can put this solution on YOUR website! At a concert, %720 was collected for hot dogs, hamburgers, and soft drinks. All three were sold for $1.00 each. Twice as many Hotdogs were sold as hamburgers and three times as many soft drinks as hambugers were sold. The number of soft drinks sold was...120, 240, 360, or 480?
----------------------------
Value Equation: d + h + s = 720 where d=#hotdogs,h=#hamburgers,s=#softdrinks
d = 2h
s = 3h
----------
Substitute to get:
2h + h + 3h = 720
6h = 720
h = 120 (# of hamburgers sold)
d=2h = 240 (# of hot dogs sold)
s=3h = 360 (# of soft drinks sold)
==============
