Question

On Friday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 393 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Friday?

Answer 1

The answer would be about 98 hamburgers.
This is because you would have to divide 393 by 2 to get 196.5.
Since the number of cheeseburgers is doubled divide 196.5 by 2 to get 98.25.
Add 98.25 to 196.5 and get 294.75.
Subtract.
