At a local baseball game, the concession stand has two different meal choices. you can get 3 hotdogs and 5 drinks for $25.00 or you can get 6 hotdogs and 4 drinks for $29.00. If the price of hotdogs and drinks is the same for each meal, find how much it cost for an individual hot dog and an individual drink.

Question

$____per hotdog

$____per drink

can someone please show me how to set up these equations?

Answer 1

3h + 5d = 25
6h + 4d = 29 ----> 3h + 2d = 14.50
subtract this from the first:
3d = 10.50
d = 3.50

sub back into first to get h, the price of a hotdog.
