To reach their goal of earning $800, let x be the number of hot dogs sold and y be the number of pretzels sold. The total income earned can be represented by the equation 4x + 2y = 800.
Since they have 300 hot dogs and pretzels in stock, the total number of items sold is x + y = 300.
Now, we can solve these two equations simultaneously to find the values of x and y.
4x + 2y = 800
x + y = 300
Solving these equations, we get:
x = 200
y = 100
So, the boosters need to sell 200 hot dogs and 100 pretzels to reach their goal of $800.
Therefore, the correct response is:
200 hot dogs and 100 pretzels
