Answer 1

Answer: the number of sodas sold is 68

the number of hotdogs sold is 34

Explanation:

Let x represent the number of sodas sold.

Let y represent the number of hotdogs sold.

Eddie baseball game of vendor sold a combined total of 102 sodas and hotdogs. This means that

x + y = 102 - - - - - - - - 1

The number of soda sold was two times the number of hotdogs sold. This means that

x = 2y

Substituting x = 2y into equation 1, it becomes

2y + y = 102

3y = 102

y = 102/3 = 34

x = 2y = 34×2 = 68
