Problema Solution

On Sunday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 345 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

Answer provided by our tutors

h = hamburgers

c = cheeseburgers

h + c = 345

c = 2h

 

h + 2h = 345

h = 115

 

c = 2h

c = 230

 

115 hamburgers, 230 cheeseburgers
