Question

A high school football game Jill buys 6 hot dogs and 4 soft drinks for
$13. Amy buys 3 hot dogs and 4 soft drinks for $8.50. what is the price of a hot dog?
A.$0.75
B.$1.00
C.$1.25
D.$1.50

Answer 1

Answer: D

Step-by-step explanation:Lets label hot dogs as 'h' and soft drinks as 's'

6h + 4s = 13 (Equation 1)

3h + 4s = 8.50 (Equation 2)

We can solve by process of elimination.

Subtract equation 1 from equation 2.

We get:

3h = 4.5

h = 1.5

So that means that the hot dog costs $1.50 which is answer choice D.
