I cracked it like this:

60% people ate 2 hotdogs = 60% x 2 = 1.2
[strike]60% people ate 1 burger = 30% x 2 = 0.3[/strike] 30% people ate 1 burger = 30% x 1 = 0.3
10% people ate 1 hotdogs = 10% x 1 = 0.1

TOtal = 1.2+0.3+0.1 = 1.6

Hotdaogs = (1.2+0.1)/1.6 x 80 = 65
Burgers = 0.3/1.6 x 80 = 15

Pls confirm is this right


I corrected a bit of it above, but i supposed that works as well.

In a picnic 60% people ate two hotdogs, 30% people ate one hamburger, and 10% people ate one hotdog. The total number of hotdog and hamburgers consumed is 80. How many hamburgers and hotdogs are consumed?

Answer>Total people 50, total hotdogs 65, total hamburgers 15

Can somebody explain?

Let the total # of people be T, then: 0.6T*2+0.3T+0.1T=80 --> T=50 --> hot dogs=0.3*50=15 --> hamburgers=80-15=65.

Eventually I arrived at 1,2hotdog + 0,3hamburger + 0,1hotdog = 80
so: 1,3hotdog + 0,3hamburger = 80

Took a step back and saw there roughly is a ratio of 4 hotdogs to 1 hamburger.

check options and arrived at Option C
