hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Tuesday?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
h = the number of hamburgers sold
c = the number of cheeseburgers sold
a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 306 hamburgers and cheeseburgers
h + c = 306
the number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold
c = 2h
by solving the system of equations
h + c = 306
c = 2h
we find
c = 204 cheeseburgers
h = 102 hamburgers
