Question

On Thursday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 444 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Thursday?

Answer 1

They sold 111 Hamburgers

Explanation:

Turn this into an equation: first, take the amount of hamburgers and call it 3x due to it being 3 times more than the amount of cheeseburgers, which we will can call x.

So, X+3X=444 is what you need to solve this. This is the same as 4x=444

So, x=111

Now, Input 111 for the final answer; 333 cheeseburgers and 111 hamburgers
