Answer:

107 hamburgers

Explanation:

Let's call hamburgers A and cheese burgers B.

We know that A + B = 321

And that the number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold which means -> B = 2A

So A + 2A = 321

3A = 321

Now you need to divide both sides of the equation by 3 and you get:

A= 107
