Question

At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 200 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was three times the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer 1

Answer:

50 hot dogs

150 sodas

Step-by-step explanation:

set up a system of equations where 'h' = # hot dogs sold and '3h' = # sodas sold

h + s = 200

s = 3h

h + 3h = 200

4h = 200

h = 50

s = 200-50 or 150
