Answer:

The equations are:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

$Hotdog = 2.50$

$Pretzel = 1.25$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

$H = hot\ dog$

$P =Pretzel$

For Tina:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

For Doug:

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

Solving for the price of both items:

We have:

$4H + 3P = 13.75$ --- (1)

$2H + 5P = 11.25$ --- (2)

Multiply (2) by 2

2 * ( $2H + 5P = 11.25$ )

-------------------

$4H + 10P = 22.50$ --- (3)

Subtract (3) from (1)

$4H + 3P = 13.75$

$4H + 10P = 22.50$

----------------------

$4H - 4H + 3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50$

$3P - 10P = 13.75 - 22.50$

$-7P = -8.75$

Solve for P

$P = \frac{-8.75}{-7}$

$P = 1.25$

Substitute 1.25 for P in (2)

$2H + 5P = 11.25$

$2H + 5 * 1.25 = 11.25$

$2H + 6.25 = 11.25$

Collect Like Terms

$2H = 11.25-6.25$

$2H = 5$

Solve for H

$H = \frac{5}{2}$

$H = 2.50$
