Answer:

The price of the hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost of hotdogs be x and that of pretzels be x.

So,

4x+3y = 13.75 ...(1)

and

2x+5y = 11.25 ...(2)

Multiply equation (2) by 2.

4x+10y = 22.5 ...(3)

Subtract equation (1) from (3).

4x+10y-(4x+3y) = 22.5-13.75

4x+10y-4x-3y = 8.75

7y = 8.75

y = 1.25

Put the value of y in equation (1).

4x+3(1.25) = 13.75

4x+3.75 = 13.75

4x = 13.75-3.75

4x = 10

x = 2.5

So, the price of hot dog is $2.5 and that of a pretzel is $1.25.
