Question

At a baseball game a vendor sold a combined total of 136 sodas and hotdogs. the number of soda sold was three times the number of the hotdogs sold. find the number of sodas in the number of hotdogs sold

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let's call the number of hotdogs sold "x". According to the problem, the number of sodas sold is three times the number of hotdogs sold, or 3x.

We know that the total number of sodas and hotdogs sold is 136. So we can set up an equation:

x + 3x = 136

Simplifying this equation, we get:

4x = 136

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 34

This means that 34 hotdogs were sold. To find the number of sodas sold, we can multiply the number of hotdogs sold by 3:

3x = 3(34) = 102

So, 102 sodas were sold.
