    10 slices of pizza were sold

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let x be the no. of pizza slices sold

    Let y be the no. of hot dogs

    25 total items were sold

    So, x+y=25 - --1

    A pizza cost $2 and a hot dog costs $1

    Cost of x slices of pizza = 2x

    Cost of y hot dogs = y

    They made total $35

    2x+y=35 - --2

    Substitute the value of y from 1 in 2

    2x+25-x=35

    x=35-25

    x=10

    Hence 10 slices of pizza were sold
