Answer:

32 Foot long hot dogs

Explanation:

A hot dog stand serves 3 regular hot dogs for every 2 foot long hot dogs. This means they sell 3+2 = 5 together.

If they sell 80 in one day, then you find how many of each by solving the equation 5x = 80.

5x = 80

x = 16.

So 3*16 is the number of regular which is 48.

So 2*16 is the number of foot long which is 32.
