You need to buy 8 packages of meat for a cookout. A package of hot dogs costs $2.19 and a package of hamburgers costs $5.89. You spend a total of $28.62. Write a system of equations and solve to find the number of packages of each type of meat purchased.​

1.89x + 5.19y = 31.62.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the pagke of hot dags be x

Let the pakage of hamburgers be y

Now they total up tp 8 packages.

xEliminate the cost

x+y=8

y=8-x

Cost of hotdogs = $1.89

Cost of hamburgers = $5.19

1.89x+5.19y=31.62

1.89x+5.19(8-x)=31.62

1.89x+41.52-5.19=31.62

-3.3x=--9.9

x=3

y=8-3

y=5
