On Wednesday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 512 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of
cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Wednesday?

Answer :

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

Let's call our hamburgers h and our cheeseburgers c and set up a system of equations to solve.

c+h=512

c=3h

Let's plug this value of c into the first equation to solve for h.

3h+h=512

4h=512

Divide both sides by 4.

h=128

Therefore, 128 hamburgers were sold on Wednesday.

Have a wonderful day! :D
