F(5) = -1 would be the correct answer.
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Again, just simple addition and subtraction: $1,034.52
7h + 6b = 35.50
5h + 6b = 30.50
The difference between the 2 totals spent is $5, and there were the same number of burgers, but 2 fewer hotdogs. So $5/2 = $2.50, the cost of a hot dog. Substitute that into the equations to solve for burgers (b)
5(2.50) + 6b = 30.50
12.50 + 6b = 30.50
6b = 18
b = 3
Check the work:
7(2.50) + 6(3) =
17.50 + 18 = 35.50
