A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 384
hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Monday. There were 66
fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Monday?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let
h = the number of hamburgers sold, h>0
c = the number of cheeseburgers sold, c>0
A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 384 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Monday:
h + c = 384
There were 66 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers:
c = h - 66
We have the system:
h + c = 384
c = h - 66
