Question

On Saturday a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 435 hamburgers and cheeseburgers the number of the cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold how many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

Answer 1

145 hamburgers

290 cheeseburgers

Explanation:

let 'h' = # of hamburgers

let 'c' = # of cheeseburgers

h + c = 435

c = 2h

substitute '2h' for 'c' in the first equation:

h + 2h = 435

3h = 435

h = 145

c = 2(145) = 290

Answer 2

145 Hamburgers were sold on Saturday

Explanation:

435/3=145

145 x 2=290

290+145=435
