A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 429 hamburgers and cheeseburgers in Saturday. there were 71 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers how many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

Answer 1

Let C = number of cheeseburgers sold

then from "There were 54 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers."

C+54 = number of hamburgers sold

C + C+54 = 496

2C+54 = 496

2C = 442

C = 221 (number of cheeseburgers sold)

Answer 2

178 cheese burger and 250 hamburger sold
