A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 562 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Saturday. There were 62 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

250 because 562 - 62 = 500 so 500/2 = 250

Let C = number of cheeseburgers sold

There were 62 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.

C - 62 = number of hamburgers sold

C - C-62 = 562

2C - 62 = 562

Then you add 562 plus 62 and it will equal ti 624

2C = 624

Times 624 from 2 it will be 1,248

C = 1,248 (number of cheeseburgers sold)
