Question

10. While at the beach, Daniel buys lunch for
his family from a food stand. He purchases
one hot dog for $2.50 and 3 hamburgers. If he
spent $ 13 total, write and solve an equation to
find h, the amount each hamburger cost.

Answer 1

Answer: Each hamburger cost $3.50

Step-by-step explanation:

He spent $13 in total and bought one hot dog for $2.50  and 3 hamburgers but we don't know the price of one hamburger so we could represent it by the equation,

2.50 + 3h = 13   Now solve for x

-2.50            2.50

  3h = 10.50

 h = 3.50  

Check:

2.50 + 3(3.50) = 13

2.50 + 10.50 = 13

13=  13

Answer 2

Each hamburger cost 3.50! Hope this helps
