Answer:
hot dogs- $1.25
hamburgers- $1.50
Step-by-step explanation:
let hot dogs be x and hamburgers be y∀
five hot dogs and two hamburgers cost $9.25
5x + 2y = $9.25 (eq. 1)
5x=9.25-2y
divide both sides by 5x
x= 1.85-0.4 (insert this in eq. 2)
two hotdogs and five hamburgers cost $10.00
2x + 5y = $10.00 (eq. 2)
2×(1.85-0.4) +5y=10.00
3.7 - 0.8 + 5y = 10.00
-0.8+5y=10.00-3.7
4.2y=6.3
divide both sides by 4.2 to evaluate the variable
6.3 divided by 4.2
y=1.50
now find x
x=1.85-0.4×1.5
x=1.85-0.6
x= 1.25
