The cost of each hamburger is $ 3.5
Solution:
Given that, Daniel purchased one hotdog for $2.50 and three hamburgers
He spent $ 13 in total
Let "H" be the cost of each hamburger
From given,
one hotdog for $2.50 + three hamburgers each for "H" = $ 13
Thus we get,
[tex]1 \times 2.50 + 3 \times H = 13\\\\2.50 + 3H = 13\\\\\text{Solve the above equation for H}\\\\3H = 13 - 2.50\\\\3H = 10.5\\\\\text{Divide both sides of equation by 3}\\\\H = 3.5[/tex]
Thus cost of each hamburger is $ 3.5
