Question

on tuesday a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 348 hameburgers and cheeseburger. the number of cheeseburger sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. how many hamburgers were sold on tuesday?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There were 261 Cheeseburgers and 87 Hamburgers sold on Tuesday

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets write some equations where H=Hamburgers and C=Cheeseburgers:

1) H+C=348

2) C=3H

1) Substitute 3H as C in the first equation:

3H+H=348

2) Combine alike terms:

4H=348

3) Divide both sides by 4:

H=87

4) Now, substitute 87 as H in the first equation:

87+C=348

5) Subtract 87 from both sides:

C=261
