3p+2h=195

p + 15 = h

3p + 2(p + 15) = 195

3p + 2p + 30 = 195

5p = 165 (combine like terms and isolate your variable)

p = 33

33 + 15 = 48 (plug 33 into your original second equation)

ANSWER: 33 pretzels and 48 hotdogs
**You can plug these into your original (first) equation to check your answer

Answer:

Number of hot dogs sold= 48

Number of Pretzels sold= 33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'h' be the number of hot dogs and 'p' be the number of pretzels that Joanie has sold today.

As  it is given that:

Today she sold 15 more hot dogs than pretzels and made $195 in total sales.

i..e in terms of equation it could be represented as:

  •  h=p+15 which could also be written as:

          h-p=15------------(1)  

  • 2h+3p=195--------(2)

( since Pretzels are $3 each, and hot dogs are $2 each )

Now we solve the two equations above to find the value of h and p.

we will use the method of substitution to solve this system.

Substitute the value of h in terms of p from equation 1 in equation (2) to obtain:

2(p+15)+3p=195

2p+30+3p=195

5p+30=195

5p=195-30

5p=165

p=33.

Now the value of h is:

h=33+15

h=48.

Hence, the number of hot dogs sold by Joanie= 48

and number of Pretzels sold by Joanie= 33

The length of a school bus is 12.6 meters. If 9 school buses park end to end with 2 meters between each one, what's the total le
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

129.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculation for what's the total length from the front of the first bus to the end of the last

First step is to multiply the given number of buses by the length of each one

Hence,

12.6 meters x 9 = 113.4 meters

Second step

Since there are 8 spaces in between we would multiply the 8 spaces by 2 meters

8 x 2 meters = 16

Now let calculate total length from the front of the first bus to the end of the last

16 + 113.4 meters =129.4

Therefore total length from the front of the first bus to the end of the last will be 129.4

Colin found 22 more mushrooms than Sophie did while they were out picking them in the forest. On the way home, Sophie asked Coli
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

11 mushrooms

Step-by-step explanation:

If Colin has 22 more mushrooms than Sophie, then Sofie has 22 less. Half of 22 is 11, so Colin should have 11 less, and Sophie should have 11 more. If you plug a random value into Sophie's mushrooms, this should still work. For example, if Sophie has 2 mushrooms and Colin has 24, they'll both have 13.
