Burt's Burger Barn sold 495 hamburgers today. The number sold with cheese was half the number sold without cheese. How many of each kind were sold?

Question

I am having lots of trouble with these types of multi-step equation problems. The fractions confuse me

Answer 1

x = number sold without cheese

 

x/2 = number sold with cheese

 

The sum must equal 495, so

 

x + x/2 = 495

 

(3/2)x = 495

 

Can you finish from here?
