Hamburger: $5.

Hot dog: $3.

Step by step explanation:

We have been given a table that shows the total number of hamburgers and hot dogs sold at a food stand at a local fair on two separate days.

We will form a system of equation from our given information to find the cost of one hamburger and one hot dog.

Let x be price of one hamburger and y be price of one hot dog.

We are told that on first day of fair 200 hamburgers and 150 hot dogs were sold for $1450.

While on second day of fair 200 hamburgers and 250 hot dogs were sold for $1750.

Now we will solve our system of equations by substitution method. From 2nd equation we will get,

Now let us substitute this value in 1st equation,

Therefore, cost of one hot dog is $3.

Now let us substitute y=3 in equation 1 to find cost of one hamburger.

Therefore, cost of one hamburger is $5.
