Question

On Monday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 544 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the

number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Monday?

Answer 1

136 hamburgers

Explanation:

Create an equation where x is the number of hamburgers sold.

The number of cheeseburgers sold can be represented by 3x, since it was 3 times the number of hamburgers.

3x + x = 544

Solve for x:

4x = 544

x = 136

So, 136 hamburgers were sold on Monday
