hamburgers
5?

Answer 1

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call the hamburgers h and the cheeseburgers c.

h+c=810

c=h+60

Let's plug this value of c into the first equation to solve for h.

h+h+60=810

2h+60=810

Subtract 60 from both sides.

2h=750

Divide both sides by 2.

h=375

Therefore, 375 hamburgers were sold on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful day! :D
