Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 525 hamburgers and cheese burgers on Wednesday. There were 75 more cheese burgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Wednesday?

Answer 1

Number of hamburgers sold = 225

Number of cheese burgers sold = 300

Explanation:

Let the number of hamburgers sold be x.

Number of cheese burgers sold =x + 75

x + x+75 = 525

2x = 525 - 75

2x = 450

x = 450/2

x = 225

Number of hamburgers sold = x = 225

Number of cheese burgers sold = 225+ 75 = 300
