Let x be the hot dogs sold on Saturday
On Sunday hot dog sold = 2x-13
Given
------
Total hot dog sold = 359


(Saturday sale) + (Sunday Sale) = 359
(x)+(2x-13)=359
x+2x-13=359
3x=359+13
3x=372
x=372/3
x=124


On Saturday hot dog sold = x = 124
On Sunday hot dog sold = 2x-13 = 2(124)-13 = 248-13 = 235
