50 hot dogs and 250 pretzels
100 hot dogs and 200 pretzels
100 hot dogs and 200 pretzels
200 hot dogs and 100 pretzels
The correct answer is 200 hot dogs and 100 pretzels.
To reach their income goal of $800, they need to sell 200 hot dogs at $4 each, which would bring in $800, and 100 pretzels at $2 each, which would bring in $200.
200 hot dogs x $4 = $800
100 pretzels x $2 = $200
Therefore, they need to sell 200 hot dogs and 100 pretzels to reach their goal of $800.
