Question

A vendor sells hot dogs and bags of potato chips. a customer buys 3 hot dogs and 3 bags of potato chips for $8.25. Another customer buys 5 hot dogs and 3 bags of potato chips for $11.25. Find the cost of each item.

Answer 1

3h + 3c = 8.25

5h+ 3c = 11.25

2h = 3

h = $1.50 for a hot dog

h+c = 2.75

c =2.75-1.50 = $1.25 for a bag of potato chips
