Question

40 POINTS? At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 225 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 49 more than the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer 1

They sold soda and hot dogs.

They sold 49 more sodas.

Subtract 49 from the total items sold:

225 - 49 = 176

Divide that number by 2 ( 2 different items sold)

176 / 2 = 88

They sold 88 hot dogs.

Add 49 to 88 for total sodas: 88 + 49 = 137 sodas.
