Answer:
180 hamburgers
120 hotdogs
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold by a company given the amount made by them and the total number of these snacks sold
We proceed as follows;
Let the amount of hotdogs sold be x and the amount of hamburgers sold be y.
We have a total of 300 snacks sold, mathematically;
x + y = 300 ..........(I)
Now let’s look at the prices.
x number of hotdogs sold at $2, this give a total of $2x hotdogs
y number of hamburgers sold at $3, this give a total of $3y.
Adding both to give total, we have ;
2x + 3y = 780.......(ii)
This means we have two equations to solve simultaneously. From equation 1, we can say x = 300 -y
Now let’s insert this in the second equation;
2(300-y) + 3y = 780
600-2y + 3y = 780
y = 780-600 = 180
Recall; x + y = 300
x = 300 -y
x = 300-180 = 120
