Problema Solution

At a football game, a vender sold a combined total 168 of 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.

Answer provided by our tutors

Let the number of hotdots be x and the number of sodas be y

x+y=168 --- (1)

2x=y --- (2)

Sub (2) to (1)

x + 2x =168

3x=168

x=56

(2)

y = 2x

y=2(56)

y=112

Therefore the number of sodas sold was 112 and the number of hotdogs was 56
