Number of hotdogs sold is 48 and number of sodas sold is 96
Solution:
Let "h" be the number of hotdogs sold
Let "s" be the number of sodas sold
Eddie football game, a vendor sold a combined total of 144th sodas and hotdogs
So we can say,
number of hotdogs sold + number of sodas sold = 144
h + s = 144 ----- eqn 1
The number of sodas sold was two times the number of hotdogs sold
number of sodas sold = two times the number of hotdogs sold
s = 2h ---- eqn 2
Let us solve eqn 1 and eqn 2 to find values of "s" and "h"
Substitute eqn 2 in eqn 1
h + 2h = 144
3h = 144
Substitute h = 48 in eqn 2
s = 2(48)
Thus number of hotdogs sold is 48 and number of sodas sold is 96
