A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 767 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 67 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?

Respuesta :

350 hamburgers were sold on the Sunday.

Explanation

Suppose, the number of hamburgers sold on the Sunday was [tex]x[/tex]

As there were 67 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers, so the number of cheeseburgers sold [tex]=x+67[/tex]

Given that, the total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold was 767. So, the equation will be.....

[tex]x+(x+67)= 767\\ \\ 2x= 767-67\\ \\ 2x=700\\ \\ x= \frac{700}{2}=350[/tex]

So, the numbers of hamburgers sold on Sunday was 350.
