Question

At a hockey game, a vender sold a combined total of 228 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

9514 1404 393

Answer:

• 152 sodas
• 76 hot dogs

Explanation:

Of the items sold, sodas were 2/(2+1) = 2/3 of the total.

(2/3)(228) = 152 . . . sodas were sold

152/2 = 76 . . . . hot dogs were sold
