Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 812 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Wednesday. There were 62 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.

How many hamburgers were sold on Wednesday?

Answer 1

Let c = number of cheeseburgers sold

h = number of hamburgers sold

c + h = 812

c = h + 62

h + 62 + h = 812

2h + 62 = 812

2h = 750

h = 375, c = 437

375 hamburgers were sold on Wednesday.
