C. $1.55 per hot dog
D. $1.65 per hot dog

Answer 1

Answer is D $1.65 per hot dog

Answer 2

D- 1.65 per hot dog

Take the amount of the bag of chips which is 1.25 and multiply it by 5 because that’s how many people there are and they each bought one bag
1.25 x 5= 6.25
Next you want to subtract that amount from the total so we can just have the amount of money spent on hot dogs
22.27-6.25=16.50
Then you want to divide 16.50 by 5 because they all bought the same amount of hot dogs and this will get us to the amount of to hot dogs
16.50/5=3.30
Finally you want to divide 3.30 by 2 which will get us the price for 1 hot dog
3.30/2=1.65

There you go!!
