Let, hamburger=x hotdogs=y
We have to find 5x+3y=?
Statement 1: x+y=130
Individually x and y can have infinite values to add upto 130.
Insufficient.
Statement 2: x/y=3/2. --> x=(3y)/2
Combining 1 and 2:
(3y)/2+ y=130
We get value of y and hence also value of x...finially giving the ultimate result for 5x+3y.
Ans: C

Answer is C
Simplifying the question stem gives us the following equation 5x +3y = ?. Where x is the number of hamburgers and y is the number of hot dogs. We need to find what "?" Is.
Statement 1 gives us the equation x+y=130 but this could mean x=100 and y=30 or x=30 and y=100, each of those gives us a different answer for "?" Therefore this statement is NOT SUFFICIENT
Statement 2 tells us that the Ham:Hot is 3:2, this again doesn't give us enough information since x could be 3 and y could be 2 or x=30 and y=20. Both of those would give different answers for "?" Therefore this statement is NOT SUFFICIENT
1+2, now that we know the total number of hamburgers and hamburgers and the ratio for each, we can find what x and y are since we can find the common multiplier for the ratio z. 3z + 2z = 5z => 5z = 130 => z=26. 3(26) = 78 hamburgers and 2(26) = 52 Hot dogs. Now we can find the total cost. Therefore these two statements together are sufficient
