At a concession stand, seven hot dog(s) and four hamburger(s) cost $18.25; four hot dog(s) and seven hamburger(s) cost $17.50. Find the cost of one hot dog and the cost of one hamburger. What is the cost of one hot dog?

The cost of one hot dog is $1.75

The cost of one hamburger is $1.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

The equations can be formed as :

7x + 4y = 18.25  (1)

4x + 7y = 17.50  (2)

Multiply eq (1) by 4 and eq (2) by 7,

   28x + 16y = 73

- (28x + 49y = 122.5)

         - 33y = - 49.5

y = 49.5/33

y = 1.5

The cost of one hamburger is $1.5

Substitute y=1.5 in eq (1),

7x + 4(1.5) = 18.25

7x = 18.25 - 6

x = 12.25/7

x = 1.75

The cost of one hot dog is $1.75

sum= when you add is how much the whole amount is

distance= when you use angles and it means how far it goes
