Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 628 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Thursday. There were 72 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers
How many hamburgers were sold on Thursday?

Answer 1

Answer:

278 cheeseburgers and 350 hamburgers sold on Thursday

Step-by-step explanation:

To confirm that these combined equal 628 we can add them together using the equation 278 + 350. Once confirm that these both equal 628 when combined, we can find the difference between the 350 hamburgers and 278 cheeseburgers by subtracting one from the other using the equation, 350 - 278. When you do that, you will get a difference of 72 which means that there were 72 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.
