Question

Winston earns $140.00 by selling 56 hot dogs at a concession stand at school. Using the same rate for the cost of one hot dog, how many hot dogs would Winston need to sell to earn a total of $175.00?

A. 14
B. 70
C.350
D.2.5

Answer 1

B or 70 hot dogs.

Explanation:

56 hot dogs cost 140 dollars

1 hot dog costs 140/56 = 2.50

How many hot dogs would you need to see to get 175 dollars.

x * $2.50 = $175

x = 175/2.5

x = 70
