Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 500 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Thursday. There were 50 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Thursday?

Answer 1

Hi!

x = number of hamburgers

x + 50 = number of cheeseburgers

x + x + 50 = 500

2x = 450

x = 225

225 hamburgers were sold on Thursday.

Hope this helps!
