Plz you are selling hot dogs at the football game for 2.50 each. you had to spend 150 to invest in a hot dog cart. how many hot dogs will you have to sell to make a profit of $300? if u can, could u write the equation to solve this

x = the number of hot dogs

2.50x - 150 = 300

[You sell each hot dog for $2.50, you spent $150, you want to make $300]

2.50x - 150 = 300   Add 150 on both sides

2.50x = 450   Divide 2.50 on both sides

x = 180

You have to sell 180 hot dogs to make a profit of $300

[proof]

2.50x - 150 = 300

2.50(180) - 150 = 300

450 - 150 = 300

300 = 300

step-by-step explanation:

hello and welcome!

so, when we see the words "proportional" along with a table, we need to know that we're looking numbers that divide by the same thing.

looking at this table, we simply have to do a trial and error, and divide to see which numbers have the same quotient. if you look at choice a & c, they both have equal quotients for three of the numbers, with one exception, so those can't be the answer. looking at b, there is no similarity, so that can't be it. then, we see d; if you divide all the numbers in the table, you'll see that they all divide by two, which is a proportional relationship, and our answer!

also, always remember that the x will always be the number that goes into y, and somewhere behind this table, is a formula. for this specific table, the formula would be:

since our x-value is being divided by two to get the y-value. and if they were to ask for more numbers in the series, this is the formula you would use to find them.
