Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 767 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 67 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

Answer 1

350 hamburgers were sold on the Sunday.

Step-by-step explanation

Suppose, the number of hamburgers sold on the Sunday was
`x`

As there were 67 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers, so the number of cheeseburgers sold
`=x+67`

Given that, the total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold was 767. So, the equation will be.....

`x+(x+67)= 767\\ \\ 2x= 767-67\\ \\ 2x=700\\ \\ x= (700)/(2)=350`

So, the numbers of hamburgers sold on Sunday was 350.
