The booster club sold hamburgers and hot dogs at a high school basketball game. They sold 300 hamburgers and 400 hot dogs, and raised a total of $1500. The combined cost of one hamburger and one hotdog was $4.

The equations and graph below can be used to determine how much each type of food cost, where m represents the cost of one hamburger and h represents the cost of one hot dog.

Total food sales: 300m + 400h = 1500
Total cost for one hamburger and one hot dog: m + h = 4

What was the price, in dollars, of a hotdog?
