Question

Kenny went to a local baseball game and bought some snacks. He

spent a total of $12.00 on sodas and hot dogs. The hot dog was $3.00
and each soda cost $1.50. If Kenny bought two sodas, how many hot
dogs did Kenny buy?

Answer 1

3 hot dogs

Explanation:

Let X = number of hotdogs

3.00x + 2(1.50)= 12.00

3.00x + 3.00= 12.00

3.00x + 3.00 - 3.00 = 12.00 - 3.00

3.00x = 9.00

X = 3

3(3.00) + 2(1.50) = 12.00

9 + 3 = 12
