Question

On Saturday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of



357
hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

Answer 1

I developed an equation; 2x + x = 357.

x = 119 so once you fill that into the equation it becomes;

2(119) + 119 = 357

238 + 119 = 357

x represents the hamburgers, so 119 hamburgers were sold on Saturday. :)
