Answer 1

Answer:

There were 250 hamburgers sold on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 555 hamburgers

   and cheeseburgers on Saturday

→ Assume that the shop sold x hamburgers

∵ The shop sold x hamburgers

∵ There were 55 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers

→ That means the number of cheeseburgers is greater than the

    number of hamburger by 55

∴ The shop sold x + 55 cheeseburgers

∵ The shop sold 555 burgers

→ Add the two types of burgers and equate the sum by 555

∴ x + x + 55 = 555

∴ 2x + 55 = 555

→ Subtract 55 from both sides

∴ 2x + 55 - 55 = 555 - 55

∴ 2x = 500

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∵ $\frac{2x}{2}$ = $\frac{500}{2}$

∴ x = 250

∵ x represents the number of hamburgers

∴ There were 250 hamburgers sold on Saturday.
