On Wednesday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 380 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Wednesday?

The numbers of hamburgers sold is 95

Step-by-step explanation:

If cheeseburgers sold equals 3 times hamburger

then we can say cheeseburger c = 3h, where h is hamburger

we can therefore say

h + 3h = 380

4h = 380

h = 95

95 hamburgers

Step-by-step explanation:

hamburgers + (3) cheeseburgers = 380

solve for x

so you have x + 3x = 380

add the x's together to be 4x = 380

divide 4 from both sides

x = 95

so plug that into the equation, replace x with 95
