Question

On Tuesday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 381 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number

of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Tuesday?

Answer 1

127 hamburgers

Explanation:

let c = # of cheeseburgers

let h = # of hamburgers

c = 2h (The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number

of hamburgers sold.)

h + c = 381 (combined total)

h + 2h = 381

3h = 381

h = 127
