Question

Jill spent a total of $10.33 at the fair buying three hotdogs and one

hamburger. A hamburger cost $0.37 more than a hotdog. How much does a
hotdog cost?

Answer 1

Answer: $3.32

Explanation:

since she bought one hamburger that costed $0.37, you do 10.33-0.37. this gets rid of what she spent on the single hamburger. Now you have 9.96. Since she bought 3 hotdogs and you want the price of 1 hotdog, you take the total number of hotdogs and divide the price by 3. so, 9.96 divided by 3. This equals 3.32.

step 1. 10.33-0.37=9.96

step 2. 9.96÷3=3.32

Hope this helps
