Answer 1

Given:

Vender sold a combined total of 249 sodas and hot dogs.

The number of sodas sold was 55 more than the number of hot dogs sold.

Let x and y be the number of sodas and hot dogs sold.

`x+y=249\ldots\text{ (1)}`
`x=y+55\ldots\text{ (2)}`

Substitute equation (2) in (1)

`y+55+y=249`
`2y=249-55`
`2y=194`
`y=97`
`x=97+55`
`x=152`

Number of sodas sold is 152.

Number of hot dogs sold is 97.
