Step-by-step explanation:

GIVEN: At the first baseball game of the season, every [tex]6[/tex] th person entering the ballpark received a coupon for a free hot dog. Every [tex]10[/tex] th person received a coupon for a free soft drink.

TO FIND: number of the first person to enter the ballpark that received a coupon for a free hot dog and a coupon for a free soft drink.
