The price of one hot dog was $1.65

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given that each of the four brothers bought two hotdogs and a packet of chips each.

Total number of hotdogs they bought=4*2 =8

Total bags of chips they bought= 4

price of a bag of chips=$1.25

Total price of items=$18.2

let the price of a hotdog=x

then $8x+4\times 1.25=18.2$

8x+5=18.2

8x=18.2-5

8x=13.2

x=13.2/8

=1.65

The price of one hotdog=$1.65
