Question

On Saturday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 234 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

78

Explanation:

Let the number of hamburgers sold = x.

Then, the number of cheeseburgers sold = 2x.

Total number of sales: x + 2x = 3x

Total number of sales: 234

3x = 234

x = 78

Answer: 78
