Question 1073637: At a football game, the vendor sold a total of 142 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 40 more than the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold. Answer by jorel1380(3719) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Let hot dogs be n. Then sodas will be n+40. So:
n+n+40=142
2n=102
n=51
There were 51 hot dogs, and 91 sodas sold. ☺☺☺☺
