Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 773 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 73 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

Answer 1

Answer: There were 350 hamburgers sold.

Explanation:

x + (x +73)= 773 where x is the number of hamburgers sold and (x+ 73) is the number of cheese burgers sold.

x + (x+ 73)=773

2x + 73 = 773

2x + 700

x= 350

1(350)= 350
