Question

At the county fair, the Baxter family bought 6 hot dogs and 4 juice drinks for $12.70. The Farley family bought 3 hot dogs and 4 juice drinks for $8.65. Find the price of a hot dog and the price of a juice drink. What is the price of both hot dogs and juice drinks?

Answer 1

6HD + 4JD = $12.70
3HD + 4JD = $ 8.65
12.70-8.65=$4.05
$4.05÷3=$1.35 for each hot dog
$12.70 - (6×$1.35) = $4.60
$4.60 ÷ 4 = $1.15 for each juice drink
