A concession stand sells hamburgers (h) for $2 and hotdogs (d) for $1. On Friday night they sold a total of 300 hamburgers and hotdogs and made $420. How many of each did they sell?
Which system of equations matches the situation?
Responses
Let's assume that x represents the number of hamburgers sold and y represents the number of hotdogs sold.
1) The total number of hamburgers and hotdogs sold is 300:
x + y = 300
2) The total revenue made from selling hamburgers and hotdogs is $420:
2x + 1y = 420
So the system of equations that matches the situation is:
x + y = 300
2x + y = 420
