Question

On Saturday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 273 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

Answer 1

h + c = 273
c = 2h

h + 2h = 273
3h = 273
h = 273/3
h = 91 <== hamburgers
and there were (273 - 91) = 182 cheeseburgers
