Studdy Solution

STEP 1

1. There are 14 friends in total.
2. All except 6 friends bought a hot dog.
3. Each hot dog costs $3.
4. We need to find out how much the friends spent on hot dogs.

STEP 2

1. Determine the number of friends who bought hot dogs.
2. Calculate the total cost of the hot dogs.

STEP 3

We know that there are 14 friends in total, and all except 6 of them bought a hot dog. To find out how many friends bought a hot dog, subtract the number of friends who did not buy a hot dog from the total number of friends.
146=8 14 - 6 = 8
So, 8 friends bought a hot dog.

STEP 4

To find the total cost, we need to multiply the number of hot dogs bought by the cost of each hot dog. We will use multiplication for this step.
8 hot dogs×$3 per hot dog=$24 8 \text{ hot dogs} \times \$3 \text{ per hot dog} = \$24
The total amount spent on hot dogs by the friends is:
$24\boxed{\$24}
