Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 394 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Wednesday. There were 56 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Wednesday?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of Hamburgers and Cheeseburgers = 394

Let the number of hamburgers = x

x + x - 56 = 394                           Combine the left

2x - 56 = 394                               Add 56 to both sides

2x - 56 + 56 = 394 + 56              Combine

2x = 450                                       Divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 450/2

x = 225

Answer

• 225 hamburgers  were sold
• 169 Cheeseburgers sold
