2. Four brothers each bought two hot dogs and a bag of chips at the football concession stand. If the bag of chips was $ 1.25, and the total was $ 18.20, what was the price of one hot dog?​

1.65$

Step-by-step explanation:

18.20$ (total price) - 4×1.25$ ( chips price) = 13.2$

13.2$ ( price of 8 hot dog)

price of one hot dog= 13.2$ ÷8= 1.65$

think about it deeply and passionately about this property

i am sorry

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
