Answer:
Number of hot dogs = 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Winston earns $140.00 by selling 56 hot dogs at a concession stand at school.
We have to find how many more hot dogs he would be able to sell if we assume the same price as before for each hot dog.
Let the price of 1 hot dog = $x
Writing the equation,
140 = 56[tex]\times x[/tex]
x = [tex]\frac{140}{56}[/tex]
x = $2.50
He has to earn $175.00 so we need to find how many more hot dogs he has to sell.
He needs to earn $35 more.
Number of hot dogs = [tex]\frac{35}{2.5}[/tex] = 14 hot dogs.
