at the baseball stadium two burgers and two hotdogs cost $15.56 at the same price as three burgers and five hotdogs cost $29.92 what is the price of a burger
+934 Let burgers be b and hotdogs be h. 2b+2h= $15.56 and 3b+5h= $29.92
Solving the system of equations, we get b+h= $7.78 which means that 3b+3h= $23.34...we subtract this from the second equation and get
3b+5h-(3b+3h)= $29.92- $23.34
2h= $6.58
Dividing by 2 we get hotdogs to cost $3.29
If we have this cost then we can find the cost of burgers by doing b+ $3.29= $7.78
Solving for b we get b= $4.49 so burgers cost $4.49.
Hope it helps!
