Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:Lets label hot dogs as 'h' and soft drinks as 's'

6h + 4s = 13 (Equation 1)

3h + 4s = 8.50 (Equation 2)

We can solve by process of elimination.

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2.

We get:

3h = 4.5

h = 1.5

So that means that the hot dog costs $1.50 which is answer choice D.
