The hot dog cost $2.20 each. Greg sold one hot dog every 2 minutes at a festival. At this rate, how many minutes would it take to sell $110 worth of hot dog?
Please help! My result is 100 but the actual correct answers is 25.
Thanks for your help.
$110/$2.20per dog = 50 hot dogs so I multiply by 2 instead of divide it by 2

The question says 1 dog every 2 minutes not 2 dogs per minute.
To find the correct answer, we need to calculate the number of hot dogs Greg would need to sell in order to reach a total of $110 in sales, and then determine the amount of time it would take him to sell that many hot dogs.
To find the number of hot dogs Greg needs to sell, we can divide the total sales by the price per hot dog:
Number of hot dogs = Total sales / Price per hot dog
In this case, the total sales is $110 and the price per hot dog is $2.20:
Number of hot dogs = $110 / $2.20
Simplifying this calculation, we have:
Number of hot dogs = 50
So Greg needs to sell 50 hot dogs to reach a total of $110 in sales.
Next, we need to determine the amount of time it would take Greg to sell 50 hot dogs at a rate of one hot dog every 2 minutes. To do this, we can multiply the number of hot dogs by the time it takes to sell each hot dog:
Amount of time = Number of hot dogs * Time per hot dog
In this case, the number of hot dogs is 50 and the time per hot dog is 2 minutes:
Amount of time = 50 * 2 minutes
Multiplying these values, we have:
Amount of time = 100 minutes
Therefore, it would take Greg 100 minutes to sell $110 worth of hot dogs.
It seems that your result of 100 minutes matches with my calculations. However, you mentioned that the correct answer is 25 minutes. It's possible that there was an error in the given information or the calculation. Please review the question and the calculations to ensure accuracy.
$110/$2.20per dog = 50 hot dogs
so, at 2 dogs per minute, that's 25 minutes.
How ever did you get 100?
