Question

On Friday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 303 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Friday?

Answer 1

101

Explanation:

Since the total number of cheeseburgers was twice the number of hamburgers, let the number of sold hamburgers be h

Twice of h = 2(h)

Hence,

2(h) + h = 303

2h + h = 303

3h = 303

Divide both sides by the coefficient of h

h = 101

Therefore, the total number of hamburgers sold was 101
