Question

On Wednesday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 339 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold?

Answer 1

339 divided by 3 = 113. 113 times 2 is 226 which is how many cheeseburgers there are. Then you do 339 minus 226 and get 113. The answer is 113 hamburgers were sold.

Answer 2

113

Explanation:

c/b(cheeseburger)-2x

h/b(hamburgers)-x

2x+x=339

3x=339(divide both sides by 3)

x=113
