Question

While at a beach, Daniel buys lunch for his family from a food stand. He purchases one hot dog for $2.50 and 3 hamburgers. If he spent $13 total, write and solve an equation to find h, the amount each hamburger cost

Answer 1

h= $3.50 ($13-$2.50)/3 = h

$13 total. He spends $2.50 on a hotdog which leaves him at $10.50. He buys 3 hamburgers so $10.50/ 3 = $3.50
