Question

At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of

116 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

Sodas = s
Hot Dogs = h
h + s = 116
s = 3h
h + 3h = 116
4h = 116
÷ 4
h = 29
116 - 29 = 87
So hot dogs are 29, and sodas are 87. I hope this helps!
