Question

A local Hamburger shop sold a combined total of 553 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Saturday. They were 53 more cheeseburgers sold and hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

Answer 1

250 hamburgers were sold on Sunday

Explanation:

Let there are x hamburgers and y cheeseburgers sold on Sunday.

ATQ,

x + y = 553 .....(1)

There were 53 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.

y = 53 + x ....(2)

Put the value of y from equation (2) in equation (1).

x + (53 + x) = 553

2x+53 = 553

2x = 500

x = 250

Put the value of x in equation (2).

y = 53 + 250

y = 303

Hence, 250 hamburgers were sold on Sunday
