Question

At a concession stand, three hot dogs and two hamburgers cost $8.00; two hot dogs and three hamburgers cost $8.25. Find the cost of one hot dog and one hamburger.

Answer 1

Let 'h' and 'd' stand for the cost of hamburgers and hot dogs. We can write:

3d+2h=8

2d+3h=8.25

Using Algebrator to solve for d and h, we get:

d=$1.50

h=$1.75
