The concession stand at the high school football stadium sells hot dogs and hamburgers to raise money for the high school athletic programs.
Each hot dog sold earns the programs $0.50, and each hamburger sold earns $0.75. This week, the concession stand sold a combination of
230 hot dogs and hamburgers and earned $138.50 for the athletic programs. If x represents the number of hot dogs sold and y represents the
number of hamburgers sold, which system of equations represents this situation?
O A. 0.750 + 0.50y = 138.50
+ = 230
OB. 0.501 + 0.75y = 230
I + y = 138.50
O c. 0.751 + 0.50y = 230
1 + y = 138.50
OD.
0.50 +0.75y = 138.50
x + y = 230

Answer:
The answer would be:
0.50x+0.75y=138.50 and x+y=230
Step-by-step explanation:
The profits are from hotdog and hamburger sales, the total raised is $138.50, if we multiply 0.5 with the number of hotdogs sold (x) and if we multiply 0.75 with the number of hamburgers sold (y), we would get the total earned.
Since x is number of hotdogs and y is number of burgers, if we add them together, we get 230 which is the total of both sold
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of hot dogs sold, and y be the number of hamburgers sold. Each hot dog sold earns $0.50, so the total earnings from hot dogs sold can be represented as 0.50x. Each hamburger sold earns $0.75, so the total earnings from hamburgers sold can be represented as 0.75y. The total number of hot dogs and hamburgers sold together is 230 , so we have the equation x + y = 230. The total earnings from both hot dogs and hamburgers sold is $138.50, so we have the equation 0.50x + 0.75y = 138.50.
Therefore, the system of equations that represents this situation is:
x + y = 230
0.50x + 0.75y = 138.50
