At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 246 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was two times the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas and the number of hot dogs sold.

Respuesta :

Answer:

There were 82 hot dogs and 164 sodas sold!

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write some equations where S= sodas and H= hot dogs:

1) S+H=246

2) S=2H

1) Substitute 2H as S in the first equation:

2H+H=246

2) Combine alike terms:

3H=246

3) Divide both sides by 3:

H=82

4) Now, substitute 82 as H in the second equation:

S=2(82)

5) Multiply:

S=164
