The equations and the number of hotdogs and sodas sold are: x+ y = 126 and 2.25x + 1.50y = 225.75 ; 49 hot dogs and 77 sodas.

Two equations can be derived from this question:

2.25x + 1.50y = 225.75 equation 1

x + y = 126 equation 2

Where:

x = number of hotdogs sold

y = number of soda sold

In order to determine the value of y, multiply equation 2 by 2.25

2.25x + 2.25y = 283.50 equation 3
