At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 124 sodas and hot dogs. The number of hot dogs sold was 54 less than the number of sodas sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold

Respuesta :

You would do 124-54= 70 so 70 sodas and hot dogs were sold
x+y=124. y=x-54. 124= x + x-54. add 54. 178= x+x or 178=2x. divide each side by 2. x=89. 124-89=35. 89 sodas and 35 dogs
