Question

At a hockey game, a vender sold a combined total of 127 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 43 more than the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold. Number of sodas sold: ​

Answer 1

85 sodas

Explanation:

Total sold was 127

The number of sodas was 43 + the number of hotdogs

Let x represent hotdogs:

x + (43 + x) = 127 (The 43 + x is the number of sodas sold.)

2x + 43 = 127

2x = 84

x = 42

42 hotdogs were sold., Since sodas are 42 + 43, 85 sodas were sold
