Question

3. At the school carnival, students sold 483 hamburgers for $4 each and 214 hot dog

for $2 each.
a. Write an equation to find how much money they took in from the sale of
hamburgers. Use the letter h to represent the unknown amount. Then solve
the equation.

Answer 1

(a.) 483h + 214d = t

$2,360 total

Explanation:

483h + 214d = t

where h(hamburger) = 4 and d(hot dog) = 2 so... ((T is total--unknown))

483(4) + 214(2) = t

1,932 + 428 = t

t = 2,360
