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. You must report the number of hot dogs sold and the number of sodas sold. How many hot dogs were sold and how many sodas were sold?

(35, 52) is the solution.

x is the number of hot dogs and x = 35. That means 35 hot dogs were sold.

y is the number of sodas and y = 52. That means 52 sodas were sold.
