Question

On Tuesday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 600 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the

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

Answer 1

Explanation:

h + c = 600

c = 3h

now we sub

h + 3h = 600

4h = 600

h = 600/4

h = 150 <=== hamburgers sold on Tuesday

c = 3h

c = 3(150)

c = 450....and 450 cheeseburgers sold
