Question

At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 145 sodas and hot dogs. The number of hot dogs sold was 55 less than the number of sodas sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer 1

Sodas: 100

Hot dogs: 45

Explanation:

Set sodas as s and hot dogs as d

s+d=145

d=s-55

s+s-55=145

2s=200

s=100

d=100-55

d=45
