A restaurant sold 350 less hotdogs than hamburgers. Altogether the restaurant sold 700 hotdogs and hamburgers. How many of each did they sell?

Question
Answer:
Answer:The restaurant sold 175 hotdogs and 525 hamburgers.Step-by-step explanation:Let the restaurant sold x hotdogs and y hamburgers. Given the restaurant sold 350 more hamburgers than hotdogs. So, we can write x + 350 = y ....... (1) Again given that the number of total hotdogs and hamburgers sold in the restaurant is 700. So, x + y = 700 ........ (2) Solving equations (1) and (2) we get Β 2x + 350 =700 β‡’ 2x = 350 β‡’ x = 175 Then from equation (1) we get, y = 350 + 175 = 525 Therefore, the restaurant sold 175 hotdogs and 525 hamburgers.
