At a high school football game janie buys 6 hot dogs and 4 soft drinks for 13. amy buys 3 hot dogs and 4 soft drinks for 8.50. what is the price of a hot dog

Hello!

You can make two equations based on what you know

let x stand for the price of 1 hot dog
let y stand for the price of 1 soft drink

6x + 4y = 13

3x + 4y = 8.50

You can subtract the equations from each other to get rid of y

3x = 4.50

Divide both sides by 3

x = 1.50

A hot dog cost $1.50

The answer is $1.50

Hope this helps!

Hope this ; )
