Question

A food truck sells 212 corn dogs and sodas one day. If 42 more corndogs than soda were sold, how many corndogs were sold that day ?

Answer 1

corndogs = 127

Explanation:

number of corndogs = X

number of soda = Y

Y + 42 = X

X - Y = 42 ------------ (1)

Y + X = 212 --------- (2)

(1) + (2)

2X = 254

X = 127
