At a baseball game, a vender sold a combined total of 172 sodas and hot dogs. The number of sodas sold was 58 more than the number of hot dogs sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold.
S is sodas and H is hotdogs You can get two equations from the statement Total sold of 172= S + H And S-58=H Replace the H in the first equation with the second So 172=S+(S-58) 230=S+S =2S 230/2=S=115 115-58=57=H And to check 57+115=172 total again
