At a baseball game, hot dogs cost $2.25 and drinks cost $1.75. The total cost, t, for h hot dogs and d drinks can be described by the equation t=2.25h+1.75d. If Costas spent $18.25 and bought 5 hot dogs, how many drinks did he buy?

4 drinks

Step-by-step explanation:

t = 2.25h + 1.75d

T = Total Cost

H = Hotdogs

D = Drinks

We have our total cost, which is $18.25 dollars

18.25 = 2.25h + 1.75d

We know Costas bought 5 hotdogs, so replace h with 5 and multiply :

2.25(5)

==> 11.25

Now that 11.25 dollars has been made, let's see how much money we need left to fit for the drinks.

18.25 - 11.25

==> 7

We need 7 dollars worth of drinks, so divide the cost by the amount we need to have.

7 / 1.75

==> 4

Castos needs to buy 4 drinks.

add all the numbers and check the ones place.

the answer is 486. as the ones place is more than 4, the estimation will be the next 10 ie, 490

answer: you need to organize this better it does not make sense.
