Question

Mr.majors ordered six hot dogs and a bucket of popcorn at the concession stand. If the popcorn was 3.20 and the total was 18.20 what was the price of one hot dog

Answer 1

The price of one hot dog is $2.50.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the price of one hot dog, we need to subtract the cost of the popcorn from the total cost of the order and then divide by the number of hot dogs. Let's calculate:

Therefore, the price of one hot dog is $2.50.

Answer 2

The price of one hotdog is $2.50

Step-by-step explanation:

You can first write this out as an equation to make it easier to solve.

Lets say that x= the price of a hot dog and y= the price of popcorn

The equation would be:

6x + y = 18.20

We know that y= 3.20 so we can subtract 3.20 from 18.20. That will leave us with 6x = 15

Then, we just have to divide both sides by 6 and our answer comes out as x = 2.50
