Given the statement:

Juan has sold 200 hot dogs already today. They sell 300 more each hour .

Determine how many did they sell in 5 hours.

Solution:

In order to solve the given problem, we can simply use logical analysis.

Hour 1 
= 200 + 300
= 500

Hour 2
= 500 + 300
= 800

Hour 3 
= 800 + 300
= 1100

Hour 4
= 1100 + 300
= 1400

Hour 5 
= 1400 + 300
= 1700

Combine the total hotdogs sold for each hour

= 500 + 800 + 1100 + 1400 + 1700
= 5,500 hotdogs

Final answer:

The total hotdogs sold after 5 hours is 5,500.
