On Saturday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 315 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Saturday

Respuesta :

Answer: 105 hamburgers were sold on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hamburgers that were sold on Saturday.

Let y represent the number of cheeseburgers that were sold on Saturday.

On Saturday, the local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 315 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. This means that

x + y = 315- - - - - - - - - -1

The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. This means that

y = 2x

Substituting y = 2x into equation 1, it becomes

2x + x = 315

3x = 315

x = 315/3

x = 105
