At the soccer match hotdogs are sold for three dollars each and sodas are sold for two dollars each. there were three times as many sodas sold as hotdogs. if a total of $72 was collected, how many of each item were sold?

the mistake in the pattern is that :

b. the decimal point was moved one too many place values each time

the correct pattern could be made by :

b. moving the decimal point to the right the same numbers of place values as the exponents
