Answer 1

Answer:

$\ 1.25$ per hot dog and $\ 0.75$ per soda

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x------> the charge per hot dog

y-----> the charge per soda

we know that

$2x+2y=4$ ------> equation A

$3x+y=4.50$ ------> equation B

Multiply by $-2$ equation B

$-2(3x+y)=-2*4.50$

$-6x-2y=-9$ ------> equation C

Adds equation A and equation C

$2x+2y=4\\-6x-2y=-9\\---------\\ 2x-6x=4-9\\-4x=-5\\x= \ 1.25$

Find the value of y

$3x+y=4.50$

$3(1.25)+y=4.50$

$y=4.50-3.75=\ 0.75$

therefore

$\ 1.25$ per hot dog and $\ 0.75$ per soda
