Question

At a baseball game, a vender sold a combined total of 135 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was two times the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer 1

vendor sold 90 sodas and 45 hot dogs

Explanation:

Let x = number of sodas sold

Let y = number of hot dogs sold

We have x = 2y (1)
( The number of sodas sold was two times the number of hot dogs sold)

We also have x + y = 135 (2)

( sold a combined total of 135 sodas and hot dogs.)

Substituting x = 2y we get

2y + y = 135

3y = 135

y = 135/3

y = 45

Therefore x = 135 - 45

x = 90

Therefore vendor sold 90 sodas and 45 hot dogs
