Question

A group of friends went out for they bought 4 hamburgers and 3 chili dogs and spent 36 dollars in total.

-H represents the cost of a hamburger

-C represents the cost of a chili dog

A. 4h+3c=-36

B. 4(3)=hc=36

C. 4c+3h=36

D. 4h+3c=36

Answer 1

D is correct

4h+3c =36

h= hamburgers.

c= chili dogs

4 hamburgers = 4h

3 chili dogs = 3c

together they cost $36

4h + 3c = $36

or

$4h + $3c = $36

the 4 answers just assumed a $ sign for 4, 3 and 36 each

mathematically, they cancel out. Divide both sides by $1 and

you get 4h+3c = 36
