Question

You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hot dogs and sodas. Each hot dog costs $2.25 and each soda costs $1.50. At the end of the night, you made a total of $225.75. You sold a total of 126 hot dogs and sodas combined. You must report the number of hot dogs sold and the number of sodas sold. What equations did you use to solve this? How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold?
A.
x + y = 126 and 2.25x + 1.50y = 225.75 ; 49 hot dogs and 77 sodas.

B.
x + y = 126 and 2.25x + 1.50y = 225.75 ; 77 hot dogs and 49 sodas.

C.
2.25x + 1.50y = 126 and x + y = 225.75 : -283.5 hot dogs and 509.25 sodas.

D.
There is not enough information

Answer 1

The required equations are use to solve this problem;

$x + y =126$

$2.25x + 1.50y = 223.75$

There are x = 49 hot dogs, and y = 77 sodas were sold.

Given that,

Each hot dog costs $2.25 and each soda costs $1.50.

At the end of the night, you made a total of $225.75.

You sold a total of 126 hot dogs and sodas combined.

We have to determine,

What equations did you use to solve this.

And How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold.

According to the question,

Let, The x represent the number of hot dogs,

And y represent the number of sodas.

Then,

You sold a total of 126 hot dogs and sodas combined.

Number of sell hot dogs + number of sell sodas = Total of hot dogs and sodas combined.

$x + y =126$

And Each hot dog costs $2.25 and each soda costs $1.50.

At the end of the night, you made a total of $225.75.

Then,

Cost of each hot dogs + cost of each soda = total earning end of the night

$2.25x + 1.50y = 223.75$

On solving both the equation,

$x + y = 126\\\\x = 126-y$

Substitute the value of x in the equation 2,

$=2.25(126-y) + 1.50y = 225.75\\\\= 283.5 -2.25y + 1.50y = 225.75\\\\= - 0.75 y = 225.75 - 283.5\\\\= - 0.75y = -57.75\\\\= y = \dfrac{-57.75}{-0.75}\\\\= y = 77$

Then,

Substitute the value of y in the equation 1,

$x + y = 126\\\\x + 77 = 126\\\\x = 126-77\\\\x = 49$

Hence, There are x = 49 hot dogs, and y = 77 sodas were sold.

Answer 2

Answer:

Hello again! Fellow Connexus user? Because I just had this on my Honors Algebra 1 test today. Anyways the answer is: A. x + y = 126 and 2.25x + 1.50y = 225.75; 49 Hot Dogs and 77 Sodas.

Step By Step Explanation:

To verify just use the substitution method to solve the equations x+y=126 and 2.25x + 1.50y = 225.75 then you'll get your x (Number of Hotdogs) and y (Number of Sodas)

Hope this helps!
