Harold is buying packages of corndogs and hamburgers for a cookout. Harold bought 5 more packages of hamburgers than corndogs. A package of corndogs costs $2.00 and a package of hamburgers costs $5.00. Harold spent a total of $95.00. Write two equations. How many packages of hamburgers did Harold buy? How many packages of corndogs did Harold buy?

Number of packages of hamburgers bought = 15

Number of packages of corndogs bought = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of a package of corndogs = $2.00

Cost of a package of hamburgers = $5.00

Let number of packages of corndogs bought =

Let number of packages of hamburgers bought =

Number of packages of hamburgers bought are 5 more than the cordogs.

The first equation can be written as:

Total money spent = $95.00

Money spent on corndogs = Price of one package of corndogs Number of packages of corndogs bought = $2

Money spent on hamburgers = Price of one package of hamburgers Number of packages of hamburgers bought = $5

As per question statement, the second equation can be written as:

Putting the value from equation (1) to equation (2):

Putting this value in the equation (1):

Number of packages of hamburgers bought = 15

Number of packages of corndogs bought = 10

stops on an even number.
