Hello!

Let's use 'x' to represent the cost of the burger, and 'y' to represent the cost of the hotdog.

2x + y = 482

× + 2y = 370

2x + 47 = 740

-3y = -258

y = 86 cents

2x + 86 = 482

2x = 396

x = 198

A burger costs $1.98 and a hot dog costs $.86

I hope this didn't confuse you, I'm not very good at explaining!
