Question

At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 108 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was three times the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer 1

Hot dogs - 27, soda - 81

Explanation:

Soda to Hot dog ratio = 3:1

If the total is 108, we can divide 108/4 ---> 27

now, multiply 3 and 1 by 27 and there you go!

edit: also if you don't know why I divided 108 by 4, its because you add together both sides of the ratio
