Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 525 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Monday. There were 75 more cheeseburgers sold

than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Monday

Answer 1

Answer: 225 hamburgers were sold on Monday.

Explanation:

525 = h + c

h = hamburger

c = cheeseburger

c = 75 + h

h + (h + 75) = 525

2h + 75 = 525

-75

2h = 450

/2

h = 225
