Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 719 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday.There were 69 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

Answer 1

Answer: 290 hamburgers sold on Sunday.

Step-by-step explanation: First, divide 719 by 2. You should get 359. Then, subtract 359-69= 290 hamburgers sold. Then, subtract 719-290= 429 cheeseburger sold. Finally, 290 hamburgers were sold on Sunday.

I hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

325 hamburgers

Step-by-step explanation:

1. first create an equation for the total number of burgers sold (h represents hamburgers and c represents cheeseburgers): h+c=719

2. next create an equation for cheeseburgers: c=h+69

3. find number of hamburgers (put cheeseburger equation into the original equation formed in step one): h+(h+69) = 719

4. find number of hamburgers (subtract 69 from both sides then divide by 2 to find the number of hamburgers): 719-69 = 650/2 = 325
