x = the cost of one hot dog
y = the cost of bag of chips
a customer buys two hot dogs and 2 bags of chips for $6
2*x + 2*y = 6
another customer buys 5 hot dogs and 3 bags of chips for $13.50
5*x + 3*y = 13.50
by solving the system of equations
2*x + 2*y = 6
5*x + 3*y = 13.50
we find
x = $2.25
y = $0.75
the cost of one hot dog is $2.25.
the cost of one bag of chips is $0.75.
