Question

a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 808 hamburgers and cheese burgers on Saturday.there were 58 more cheese burgers sold than hamburgers. how many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

Answer 1

C+H=808

C=H+58

--------------------------

H+58+H=808

2H+58=808

2H=808-58

2H=750

H=750/2=375.

--------------------------

C+375=808

C=808-375=433

------------------------

So, 433 cheeseburgers were sold and 375 hamburgers were sold.
