Answer 1

Answer:

Number of sodas sold = 80

Number of hot dogs sold = 23

Explanation:

Let th number of sodas be xs

Let the number of hot dogs be h

The vendor sold a combined total of 103 sodas and hot dogs

s + h = 103............(1)

The nmber of soda sold was 57 more tha n the number of hot dogs sold

s = h + 57........()

Subtitute equation (2) into equation (1)

h + 57 + h = 103

2h = 103 - 57

2h = 46

h = 46/2

h = 23

Substitute h = 23 into equation (2)

s = 23 + 57

s = 80

Number of sodas sold = 80

Number of hot dogs sold = 23
