Question

Josh is helping run concessions at a

Hillwood football game. A soda cost
$2.50 and a hotdog cost $4. At the end
of the game Josh has collected $500.
This equation can be used to represent
the cost of sodas (s), the cost of hotdogs
(h), and total cost.
2.5 s +4 h=500
Rearrange the formula to solve for
hotdogs.

Answer 1

Answer: h = 125 - .625s

Explanation:

2.5s + 4h = 500 subtract 2.5s from both sides

4h = 500 - 2.5s then divide all terms on both sides by 4

h = 125 - .625s this is hot dog cost expressed in terms of soda cost
