Question
The Highland Booster Club sells refreshments at the concession stand for local football games. Combination 1 includes 4 hot dogs and 2 sodas for $10. Combination 2 includes 6 hot dogs and 3 sodas for $15. Let h
represent the cost of a hot dog, and let s
represent the cost of a soda. Write the pair of linear equations that model this situation.(1 point)
Equation for Combination 1:
= 10
Equation for Combination 2:
= 15
1 answer
To model the situation described, we can set up two equations based on the combinations of hot dogs and sodas.
Let \( h \) represent the cost of a hot dog and \( s \) represent the cost of a soda.
For Combination 1 (4 hot dogs and 2 sodas for $10): \[ 4h + 2s = 10 \]
For Combination 2 (6 hot dogs and 3 sodas for $15): \[ 6h + 3s = 15 \]
So, the pair of linear equations that model this situation is:
