Question

If 3 burger meals and 4 hot dog meals was 48.00 and 6 burger meals and 2 hot dog meals was 60 how much did the hot dog meal cost

Answer 1

Let's denote the cost of a burger meal as B and the cost of a hot dog meal as H.

From the given information, we can create the following equations:

3B + 4H = 48 (Equation 1)
6B + 2H = 60 (Equation 2)

Now, we can solve these equations simultaneously to find the cost of a hot dog meal.

First, let's simplify Equation 1 by multiplying it by 2:
6B + 8H = 96 (Equation 3)

Now, subtract Equation 2 from Equation 3:
(6B + 8H) - (6B + 2H) = 96 - 60
6B + 8H - 6B - 2H = 36
6H = 36
H = 36 / 6
H = 6

Therefore, the cost of a hot dog meal is $6.
