Answer: He sold 634 steak sandwiches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x denotes the number of hot dogs and y denotes the number of steak sandwiches.

According to the given statements , we have

x+y=985-----------(1)\\\\ 2.95x+9.95y=7343.75----------------(2)

Multiply 2.95 to equation (1) , we get

2.95x+2.95y=2.95(985)

2.95x+2.95y=2905.75  (3)

Eliminate equation (2) from equation (3) , we get

7y=4438\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=\dfrac{4438}{7}\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=634

Hence, he sold 634 steak sandwiches.

It x, y, and z are positive intergers and 3x = 4y = 7z, then the least possible value of x + y + z is???
Dmitry [639]

3x = 4y = 7z \\ \Rightarrow \begin{cases}3x - 4y = 0 \\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3x = 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 3( \frac{4}{3}y)  = 0\end{cases}  \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\4y - 7z = 0 \\ 7z - 4y= 0\end{cases} \\ \Leftrightarrow \begin{cases}x =  \frac{4}{3} y\\ y \\ z =  \frac{4}{7}y \end{cases} \\ x,y,z\: are\: intergers\Rightarrow y=LCM(3,7)=21\Rightarrow x = 28,z = 12 \\ \Rightarrow x + y + z = 61
