Question

A vendor saw a combined total of 200 sodas and hot dogs the number of sodas sold was three times the number of hot dogs sold find the number of sodas and number of hot dogs sold

Answer 1

There are 50 hot dogs and 150 sodas.

Explanation:

Let there are s sodas and h hot dogs.

The number of sodas sold was three times the number of hot dogs sold.

ATQ,

s+h = 200 ...(1)

s = 3h ...(2)

Put the value of s in equation (1).

3h +h = 200

4h = 200

h = 50

Put the value of h in equation (2).

s = 3(50)

s = 150

Hence, there are 50 hot dogs and 150 sodas.
