Question

At a hockey game a vendor sold a combine total of 248 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was three times the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas and the number of hot dogs sold

Answer 1

62 hot dogs, 186 sodas.

Explanation:

Divide the 248 combined into 4 parts.

248/4=62

62 is how many hot dogs were sold

Now subtract 62 from the original 248.

248-62=186

186 sodas were sold.

Now cross check. 62*3= 186.
