Answer:

128

Step-1by-step explanation:

An easy way of solving these sort of problems is to set up an equation

Since we have a total, that being 512 burgers, we can set an equation equal to that number.

We can say that hamburgers is represented by x. Since we sold 3 times more cheeseburgers than the amount of hamburgers, we can represent this as 3x.

Since these totals are combined, we can represent this via an equation:

512 = x + 3x

Solve for x accordingly, and we are given 128, which is equal to the amount of hamburgers.
