Question

You are selling concessions at a local swim meet. Hot dogs are being sold for $1.00 and soda is being sold for $0.50. At the end of the day you made $150. Let x represent the number of hotdogs sold and y represent the number of sodas sold. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of hotdogs and sodas sold at the swim meet

Answer 1

1x + 0.5y = $150

Explanation:

x = hot dog and each hot dog is sold for $1. We will multiply each hot dog sold by $1.

y = soda and each soda is sold for $0.50. We will multiply each soda sold by $0.50.
