Answer 1

The correct answer is: 100 hot dogs and 200 pretzels

To reach their goal of $800, the boosters need to sell a total of 100 hot dogs ($4 each) and 200 pretzels ($2 each).

100 hot dogs x $4 = $400
200 pretzels x $2 = $400

$400 + $400 = $800

So, the boosters need to sell 100 hot dogs and 200 pretzels to reach their goal.
