Question

Answer 1

So there's a hamburger shop that sold a total of 769 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Friday. Apparently, there were 69 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.

Now, the question is: how many hamburgers were sold on Friday?

Let's break it down. Let's call the number of hamburgers sold "h" and the number of cheeseburgers sold "c". We know that:

h + c = 769

And we also know that:

c = h + 69

We can use the second equation to substitute "c" in the first equation:

h + (h + 69) = 769

Simplifying this equation, we get:

2h + 69 = 769

Subtracting 69 from both sides:

2h = 700

Dividing both sides by 2:

h = 350

So it looks like 350 hamburgers were sold on Friday!
