Question

HELP PLEASE I WILL GIVE MEDAL!

At a football game, a vender sold a combined total of 162 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 48 more than the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer 1

s + h = 162
s = h + 48

now sub in h + 48 in for s in the first equation and solve for h. Once h is found, sub that back into either of the equations and find s.

Answer 2

so its going to be 2h+48=162?

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

okay so I got 57 after solving everything

Answer 5

ok....h = 57. Now sub that back into either equation to find s

Answer 6

so 57 hotdogs sold and 105 sodas sold?

Answer 7

lets check it.....
s + h = 162
105 + 57= 162
162 = 162 (correct)

s = h + 48
105 = 57 + 48
105 = 105 (correct)

yes....57 hotdogs and 105 sodas
