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
∵ =
∴ x = 250
∵ x represents the number of hamburgers
∴ There were 250 hamburgers sold on Saturday.
