Answer:

There were 82 hot dogs and 164 sodas sold!

Explanation:

Lets write some equations where S= sodas and H= hot dogs:

1) S+H=246

2) S=2H

1) Substitute 2H as S in the first equation:

2H+H=246

2) Combine alike terms:

3H=246

3) Divide both sides by 3:

H=82

4) Now, substitute 82 as H in the second equation:

S=2(82)

5) Multiply:

S=164
