The first thing we do for this case is to define variables:
x: hot dogs
y: steak sandwiches
We write the following system of equations:
2.50x + 10y = 8470
x + y = 985
Resolving graphically we have:
x = 184
y = 801
Note: see attached image for the solution.
Answer:
He sold:
hot dogs = 184
steak sandwiches = 801
