A snack cart sells lemonade for $2 and hot dogs for $5. The vendor sold 86 items today for a total of $330.

Which equation is true?

(86 – h)(h) = 86
(86 – h) + h = 86
(86 – h) + h = 2 + 5
[2(86 – h)](5h) = 330

Any ideas? If hot dogs = h then lemonade = (86-h) since there are 86 items total

The sum of hot dogs and lemonades is 86

So that being said which equation is appropriate for this situation?
