H = number of hamburgers sold.
c = number of cheeseburgers sold.

we know that "c" is three times the number of "h", thus c = 3h

we also know, the total amount sold for both is 556,  h + c = 556

h + c = 556
c = 3h
thus

h + (3h) = 556 <---- solve for "h" to see how many hamburgers were sold.

what about "c"? well, c = 3h

The number of cheeseburgers sold is three times the number of hamburgers sold...

c=3h

The total number sold is:

c+h=556, using c found earlier in this equation gives you:

(3h)+h=556

4h=556  divide both sides by 4

h=139

So 139 hamburgers were sold on Monday.

The sum of two numbers is 150 and the ratio of the same two numbers is 3 to 2 . find the bigger number
krek1111 [17]
Ratio- 3: 2

3x + 2x = 150
5x = 150
x = 30

3x is the larger number so plug in the x value with 30.

3x
3 x 30
90

The larger number is 90.

Hope I helped.. ^^
