Question

Four brothers each bought two hot dogs and a bag of chips at the football concession stand. If the bag of chips was 1.25, and the total was 18.20, what was that price of one hat dog?

Answer 1

$1.65

Explanation:

If h is the price of a hot dog, then the total bill was ...

4(2h +1.25) = 18.20

2h +1.25 = 4.55 . . . . . . divide by 4

2h = 3.30 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 1.25

h = 1.65 . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The price of one hot dog was $1.65.
