Question

a restaurant sells 51 hotdogs. it sells 3 times as many burgers as hotdogs. it sells 5 more milkshakes than burgers. how many milkshakes does the restaurant sell?

Answer 1

Hi Lian!

1) Your first step would be to find how many burgers the restaurant sells. To calculate that, you would multiply 51 × 3 (You would multiply by 3 because they sell 3 times the amount of burgers as hotdogs).

51× 3 = 153 burgers

2) Your second step would be to find the amount of milkshakes. We know they make 5 more milkshakes than burgers. 5 more means to add 5 to the number of burgers (153). You would add 153 + 5.

153 + 5 = 158

3) Your final answer is 158 milkshakes :)
