Given:

Day Hamburger Hot dog Sales

1 200 150 1,450

2 200 250 1,750

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

200y + 150x = 1,450

- (200y + 250x = 1,750)

- 100x = - 300

x = - 300/-100

x = 3

Each hot dog costs $3.

Day 1:

200y + 150 (3) = 1,450

200y = 1,450 - 450

200y = 1,000

y = 1,000/200

y = 5

Day 2

200y + 250x = 1,750

200 (5) + 250 (3) = 1,750

1000 + 750 = 1,750

1,750 = 1,750

The cost of a Hamburger is $5 while the cost of a Hot dog is $3.
