Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 525 hamburgers and cheese burgers on Wednesday. There were 75 more cheese burgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Wednesday?

Answer 1

Answer:

Number of hamburgers sold =   225

Number of cheese burgers sold  = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hamburgers sold be x.

Number of cheese burgers sold =x + 75

x + x+75 = 525

         2x  = 525 - 75

         2x = 450

            x = 450/2

            x = 225

 Number of hamburgers sold =  x = 225

Number of cheese burgers sold = 225+ 75 = 300
