The number of popcorns sold at a movie theatre was 8 less than three times the number hotdogs. How many hotdogs did the theatre sell if it sold a total of 592 popcorns
If the theater sold 8 more popcorns, the total would be 600, and it would be exactly 3 times the number of hotdogs. The theater sold 1/3 of 600, or 200 hotdogs.
