Question

At a high school football game, Jamie buys 6 hot dogs and 4 soft drinks for $13. Amy buys 3 hot dogs and 4 soft drinks for $8.50. What is the price of a hot dog?

A) $0.75
B) $1.00
C) $1.25
D) $1.50

Answer 1

The answer is D) 1.50. If you multiply 1.50 by 3 it equals 4.50, and 8.50-4.50 equals $4. $1 for each drink. Now for Jamie 1.50 times 6 would equal $9, and soft drinks are a dollar each, 9+4 equals 13. ANSWER: D
