Question

On Thursday a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 444 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold

Answer 1

148 hamburgers sold

296 cheeseburgers sold

Explanation:

x = number of hamburgers sold

2x = number of cheeseburgers sold

444 = total burgers sold

hamburgers + cheeseburgers = total burgers sold

x + 2x = 444

3x = 444

3x/3 = 444/3

x = 148

Check:

148 + 2(148) = 444

148 + 296 = 444

444 = 444
