At a basketball game, a vender sold a combined total of 223 sodas and hot dogs. The number of hot dogs sold was 57 less than the number of sodas sold. Find the number of sodas sold and the number of hot dogs sold.

Answer: 140 Hot dogs and 83 sodas.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, so we will say that h = hot dogs and s = sodas.

h + s = 223

I have used the guess and test strategy to get:

h = 140

140 - 57 = 83

s = 83

Check: 83 + 140 = 223
