Question

A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 709

 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Wednesday. There were 59

 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Wednesday?

hamburgers

Answer 1

C +H =709

C=59 +H

59+H +H =709

2H = 709-59 = 650

H = 650/2 = 325 hamburgers

C= 325+59 = 384 cheeseburgers
