Question

On Saturday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 340 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was theee times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold

Answer 1

The correct answer is 85 hamburgers were sold.

Explanation:

Hamburgers = x

Cheeseburgers = 3x (three times the number of hamburgers)

x + 3x = 340 (combined total of hamburgers and cheeseburgers).

4x = 340

x = 340/4

x = 85

The total number of hamburgers sold at the local hamburger shop on Saturday was 85, and the total number of cheeseburgers sold was 255.
