Question

Mr.majors ordered six hot dogs and a bucket of popcorn at the concession stand. If the popcorn was 3.20 and the total was 18.20 what was the price of one hot dog

Answer 1

Answer:

The price of one hotdog is $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

You can first write this out as an equation to make it easier to solve.

Lets say that x= the price of a hot dog and y= the price of popcorn

The equation would be:

6x + y = 18.20

We know that y= 3.20 so we can subtract 3.20 from 18.20. That will leave us with 6x = 15

Then, we just have to divide both sides by 6 and our answer comes out as x = 2.50
