bob bought popcorn hot dog soda for 9.86  popcorn is 1 dollar more than a hot dog soda costs 0.89 cents less than a hotdog

aripotta · Answer

are we trying to find the cost of each?

anonymous · Answer

yes

aripotta · Answer

p + h + s = 9.86
p = 1 + h
s = h - 0.89

does that make sense so far?

anonymous · Answer

its mainly just the first 1 i need cause i can figure out the others

aripotta · Answer

p = popcorn
h = hot dog
s = soda

anonymous · Answer

mainly just the hotdog i need to find cause the other 2 are easy from there

aripotta · Answer

p + h + s = 9.86
p = 1 + h
s = h - 0.89

(1 + h) + h + (h - 0.89) = 9.86

aripotta · Answer

(1 + h) + h + (h - 0.89) = 9.86 
3h + 0.11 = 9.86
3h = 9.75
h = 3.25
