Question

At a football game, a vender sold a combined total of 213 sodas and hot dogs. The number of hot dogs sold was 51 less than the number of sodas sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hot dog sold
Let y be the number of soda sold

x + y = 213

And x = y - 51

Substitute x value in the first equation:

y - 51 + y = 213
2y = 264
y = 132

Find x:

x + 132 = 213
X = 213 - 132
x = 81

Therefore, the number of hotdog sold was 81

The number of soda sold was 132
