The band boosters collected $2400 from the sale of hamburgers and hotdogs. The amount earned from hamburgers and hotdogs were equal. A hamburger sold for three dollars and a hotdog sold for two dollars how many of each were sold?

400 Hamburgers

600 Hot dogs

Divide 2,400 by two because that's how many items they sold. You'll get 1,200.

Divide 1,200 by 3 because that's how much a hamburger costs and you'll end up with 400

Divide 1,200 by 2 because that's how much a hot dog costs and you'l end up with 600

To check, multiply 400x3 and 600x2

Then add the sums together - 1,200+1,200 = 2,400

6,000 for the hotdogs and 4,000 for the hamburgers
