Question

On Friday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 387 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Friday?

Answer 1

let the number of hamburgers sold be "h" and the number of cheeseburgers be "2h" as it was two time as the humbugers .form equation frome it '2h+h=387".comp the like terms which gives you 3h=387 divide each side by 3 which gives you h=129 which is equal to the number hambyrgers .multiply 129 by 2 to get the number of cheeseburgers which is 258
