Renee is stocking the concession stand with x hamburgers and y hot dogs. hamburgers are sold for $3 each, while hot dogs are $2 each. what equation can renee use for sales needed to raise $1500?

Answer 1

Hello, Ashlyn,

The total sales would be the number of items sold times the cost of each item. Let x be the number of hamburgers and y the number of hot dogs.

The income from each would be:

3x for hamburgers

2y for hot dogs

The equation that would work is:

1500 = 3x + 2y
