Question

a local hamburger shop sold a total of 424 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. the number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold

Answer 1

There were 318 cheeseburgers sold and 106 hamburgers sold.

Explanation:

h = hamburgers

c = cheeseburgers

C = 3h

An equation would be: 424 = 3h + h.

424 = 3h + h

424 = 4h Add 3h and h together

106 = h Divide both sides by 4

106 x 3 = 318 This is cheeseburgers sold

Checking:

C = 3h

318 = 3h Divide both sides by 3

106 = h
