Let's assume the cost of a hotdog is x dollars and the cost of a soda is y dollars.
From the information given, we can create two equations:
2x + 2y = 4 (equation 1)
3x + y = 5 (equation 2)
Simplifying equation 1 by dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x + y = 2 (equation 3)
Subtract equation 3 from equation 2 to eliminate the y variable:
3x + y - (x + y) = 5 - 2
2x = 3
x = 3/2
x = 1.5
Now, we can substitute the value of x into equation 3 to find the cost of a soda:
1.5 + y = 2
y = 2 - 1.5
y = 0.5
Therefore, Tony charges $1.5 for a hotdog and $0.5 for a soda.
Tony is in charge of the concession stand. He charges four dollars for two hotdogs and two sodas. He charges for 50 for three hotdogs and one soda. How much is there a charge for hotdog how much for soda
