at a basketball game a vendor sold a combined total of 116 sodas and hotdogs. The number of hotdogs sold were 36 less than the number of sodas sold find the number of sodas sold and the number of hotdogs sold.

Sagot :

Answer:  76 Sodas and 40 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S and H represent the numbers of Sodas and Hot dogs.

We are told that:

S + H = 116

We also see that:

H = S - 36

==

Take the second equation's value for H (S - 36) and use it in the first:

S + H = 116

S + (S-36) = 116

2S = 152

S = 76

and therefore H = S - 36, or 40.

76 + 40 = 116  [Checks]

76 Sodas and 40 hot dogs
