Answer:

  • 134 soda
  • 84 hot dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number of sodas sold. Then the number of hot dogs sold is (s-50) and the total is ...

  s +(s -50) = 218

  2s = 268 . . . . . . . . . add 50

  s = 134 . . . . . . . divide by 2

134 sodas were sold; 84 hot dogs were sold.
