Question 695506: I need to graph this:
You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. 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 and soda combined. You must report the number of hot dogs sold and the number of sodas sold. How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold? Answer by mananth(16946) (Show Source):
2 x 0.50 y = 78.50 .............2
Eliminate y
multiply (1)by -0.50
Multiply (2) by 1.00
-0.50 x -0.50 y = -43.50
2 x + 0.50 y = 78.50
Add the two equations
1 x = 35.00
/ 1
x = 35.00
plug value of x in (1)
1 x + 1 y = 87
35 + y = 87
y = 87 -35
y = 52
y = 52.00
x= 35 hot dogs
y= 52 soda
