Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 695 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 55 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers

Answer 1

375 hamburgers were sold on Sunday.

Explanation:

This question is incomplete, so the complete question is below:

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 695 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 55 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

Now, to find the number of hamburgers were sold on Sunday.

Let the number of hamburgers be
`x.`

As, given there were 55 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.

So, the number of cheeseburgers is
`x-55.`

Total combined hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold on Sunday = 695.

So, to get the number of hamburgers sold on Sunday we set an equation:

According to question:

`x+(x-55)=695`

`x+x-55=695`

`2x-55=695`

Adding both sides by 55 we get:

`2x=750`

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

`x=375.`

The number of hamburgers sold = 375.

Therefore, 375 hamburgers were sold on Sunday.
