Question

628 hamburgers and cheese burgers sold on Tuesday their were 72 fewer cheese burgers sold than hamburger how many were sold on Tuesday

Answer 1

Answer: 350 hamburgers and 278 cheeseburgers

Explanation:

Let's denote the number of hamburgers sold on Tuesday as 'H' and the number of cheeseburgers sold as 'C'.

According to the information given, we have two pieces of information:

The total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold on Tuesday is 628:

H + C = 628

There were 72 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers:

C = H - 72

We can solve this system of equations to find the values of H and C.

Substituting the second equation into the first equation, we get:

H + (H - 72) = 628

2H - 72 = 628

2H = 628 + 72

2H = 700

H = 350

Now we can substitute the value of H back into the second equation to find C:

C = H - 72

C = 350 - 72

C = 278

Therefore, on Tuesday, 350 hamburgers and 278 cheeseburgers were sold.
