find the number of hot dogs the booster club must sell to break even.
show all steps when solving equation.

36 hotdogs

Step-by-step explanation: Let x= number of hot dogs sold to break even

Equation: 57+0.50x=12+1.75x

subtract 12 from both sides: 45+0.50x=1.75x

subtract 0.50x from both sides: 45=1.25x

Divide both sides by 1.25: x=36

step-by-step explanation:

she will sew have sewn five dresses   and be 1/3 done with the sixth one in an hour.

step-by-step explanation:

3/4 of an hour=45 mins

lucy makes 1 dress per 11.25 minutes

45 mins+11.25 mins=56.25 mins

60 mins- 56.25 mins=3.75 mins

3.75 mins is 1/3 of of 11.25 mins

therefore she the other 1/3 would be part of the hour and she will have sewn 5 dresses and begun the sixth.
