8. You are selling concessions at a local swim meet. Hot dogs are being sold for
$1.00 and soda is being sold for $0.50. At the end of the day you made $150.
Let x represent the number of hotdogs sold and y represent the number of
sodas sold. Write an equation that can be used to find the number of hotdogs
and sodas sold at the swim meet.
a. Standard Form:
x+y=150
b. Slope-Intercept Form:
y=150-x
c. If you sold 40 hot dogs how many sodas did you sell?
110

d. Using the Standard Form, identify the x-intercept of the graph and explain
how the x-intercept relates to the number of hot dogs and sodas sold.
The x-intercept is 150. The x-intercept relates to the number of hot dogs and sodas sold because if you sold 0
sodas, that means you sold $150 worth of hotdogs
e. Using the Standard Form, identify the y-intercept of the graph and explain
how the y-intercept relates to the number of hot dogs and sodas sold.
