The boss sent you to pick up lunch with $32.10, but you forgot how many hamburgers and hotdogs to pick up! The cost of a hamburger is $1.50 and the cost of a hot dog is $1.10. You must buy a combination of 23 items.

Answer:

Explanation:

so we can make a system of equations

y=hotdogs

x=hamburgers

you need a combination that sums to 23, so add the two and get 23:

y+x=23

and then you need to account for how much money you have and the cost.

1.50x+1.10y=32.10

still working on it, will edit in rest so that you can see what I did
