You are running a concession stand at a basketball game. You are selling hot dogs and sodas. Each hot dog costs $1.50 and each soda costs $0.50. At the end of the night you made a total of $78.50. You sold a total of 87 hot dogs and sodas combined. 

Write 2 equations, but DO NOT SOLVE.

1.50x + 0.50y = 78.50
