You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hot dogs and sodas. Each hot dog costs $1.50 and each soda costs $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50. You sold a total of 87 hot dogs and sodas combined. How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold?
Can you please tell me what you have tried? Hint: make a system of equations; let x be the number of hot dogs and y be sodas.
