You have to set up two equations. Let 'X' be the price of Hamburgers and 'Y' be the price of Hot Dogs. Remember: the total price is the number of items bought times the price of one item. So if 5 hamburgers and 4 hot dogs cost $19.50, the first equation would be: 5X + 4Y = 19.50 If 4 hamburgers and 5 hot dogs cost $18.50, your second equation would be: 4X + 5Y = 18.50. Now you have to solve for one variable in one equation and plug it into the other. Let's solve for X in the first equation: 5X + 4Y = 19.50 5X = 19.50 - 4Y X = (19.50/5) - (4/5) Y X = 3.9 - .8Y Now since X equals that, you can substitute in the second equation: 4X + 5Y = 18.50 4 (3.9-.8Y) + 5Y = 18.50 Now distribute and simplify: 15.6 - 3.2Y + 5Y = 18.50 15.6 + 1.8Y = 18.50 1.8Y = 2.9 Y = 1.61 Remember Y is the price of hot dogs, which cost $1.61 each. Plug back into the original equation to find X: 4X + 5Y = 18.50 4X + 5(1.61) = 18.50 4X + 8.05 = 18.50 4X = 10.45 X = 2.61 Hamburgers cost $2.61 each. So one hamburger ($2.61) + one hot dog ($1.61) = $4.22.

Hamburger = b
5d + 2b = 9.75
2d + 5b = 11.25
-2.5(2d + 5b) = -2.5(11.25) --> -5d + -12.5b = -28.125
5d + 2b = 9.75
+
-5d + -12.5b = -28.125
--------------------------------
-10.5b = -18.375 --> 10.5b = 18.375
b = 18.375/10.5 = 1.75
5d + 2(1.75) = 9.75
5d = 6.25
d = 1.25
A hotdog is 1.25, a hamburger 1.75.
Thanks for the refresher ^_^

What is the object of allocating fixed overhead costs to products?
Do you know of a better way of doing cost accounting? If you are selling hamburgers, you are also renting a building, buying electricity, and paying a staff. You logically know that you must recover the cost of the meat, bun, mustard, ketchup, pickle, lettuce, and tomato every time you sell a hamburger. You can not sell a hamburger for less than that amount. You will also waste a little, so you must sell for a little more just to break even. You will have those other expenses. You will have to get the money for them from somewhere. You will need to figure out how many hamburgers you intend to sell in am month and add to each one a few cents for rent, electricity, and staff. Then You calculate your markup. You ask, "Can I afford to rent that place and sell hamburgers?" If you will sell fewer hamburgers, each hamburger will need to carry more cost. If you sell more, each one can carry less overhead. Still, your products have to bring in enough money to pay for the rent, the staff, the utilities, and the depreciation.
