Respuesta :

Answer:

B: 64 hamburgers and 35 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

64 x . 5 = 32 and 35 x .25 = 8.75

Add 32 + 8.75 = 40.75

The possible way Harry buy the hamburgers and hot dogs is 66 hamburger and 32 hot dogs

What is Linear equation?

An equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a graph.

Given,

Price of hamburger = $0.50

Price of hot dog = $0.25

Consider,

Number of hamburger is x and number of hot dog is y

Then,

x + y = 98

y  = 98 - x

0.50x +0.25y = 41

Substitute the value of y in this equation

0.50x + 0.25(98 - x) =41

0.50x +24.5 -0.25x = 41

0.25x + 24.5 = 41

0.25x =16.5

x =  [tex]\frac{16.5}{0.25} =66[/tex]

x + y = 98

Substitute the value of x

66 + y =98

y = 98 - 66

y = 32

Hence, the possible way Harry buy the hamburgers and hot dogs is 66 hamburger and 32 hot dogs
