Question

At a football game, Ben purchased x hot dogs and y drinks. He spent a total of $30.70. The equation below describes the relationship between the number of hot dogs and the number of drinks purchased.
3.25x+2.95y=30.70
The ordered pair (4, 6) represents the solution of the equation.
What does the solution (4, 6) represent?
any help would be greatly appreciated i dont understand

Answer 1

So I had to reread this about 3 times before it finally clicked, I've never done a problem like this before. An ordered pair is organized like so: (x-coordinate, y-coordinate) Meaning x=4 and y=6. If x=hot dogs and y=drinks then this means that Ben purchased 4 hot dogs and 6 drinks at the game. 

Hope this helps!! (:
