Mike bought five items for lunch that Cost a total of 4.55 .Hit dogs cost .1.10 each and cookies cost 0.75 each. What equation could be used to find h the number of hot dogs and c the number of cookies

and

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that Mike bought only cookies and hot dogs.

The total can be represented as:

--- (1)

And the amount spent can be represented as:

--- (2)

Required

Determine the system of equation

Let c represents the number of cookies and h, number of hot dogs.

implies

And

Cost of cookies = 0.75 * c

Cost of hot dogs = 1.10 * h

So, we have:

Hence, the equations are:

and

Solving for c and h

Make c the subject in

Substitute 5 - h for c in
