Answer:
Number of dogs = 6
Number of burgers = 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of dogs = x
Number of burgers = 2x - 1
Cost of a dog = $ 1.50
Cost of 'x' dogs = 1.5x
Cost of a burger = $ 2
Cost of (2x - 1) burger = (2x -1) * 2 = 2x *2 - 1*2
= 4x - 2
Total amount collected = $ 31
1.5x + 4x - 2 = 31 {add 2 to both sides}
1.5x + 4x = 31 + 2
1.5x+ 4x = 33
5.5x = 33
x = 33/5.5
x = 6
Number of dogs = 6
Number of burgers = 2*6 - 1 = 12 - 1 = 11
