Let b represent the number of burgers sold.

Let h represent the number of hot dogs sold.

 

Note that:

2.35b+1.10h = 294.20

b+h=172

 

b+h=172

h=172-b

 

Now solve the system of equations with substitution:

 

2.35b+1.10h = 294.20

2.35b+1.10(172-b) = 294.20

2.35b + 189.2 - 1.1b = 294.20

1.25b=105

b=84

 

b+h=172

84+h=172

h=88

 

Therefore there are 84 burgers and 88 hot dogs.

Solved! :)
