Answer:

33 hotdogs and 225 drinks on Monday

Step-by-step explanation:

We would use the ratio of 1:3 hotdogs to drinks

Split the ratio in 450 and we get 112.5:337.5

$112.5 would be the earnings of hotdogs

$337.5 would be the earnings of the drinks

Now we divide each individually by its cost

$112.5/3.5

= 32 1/7,

$337.5/1.5

= 225

We will round the hotdogs to 33 as the word problem says "sold enough to make."
