Question

on friday, 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 friday?

hamburgers

Explanation:

Step1: Define Variables

Let \( h \) be the number of hamburgers sold. Then the number of cheeseburgers sold is \( 2h \) (since it's two times the number of hamburgers).

Step2: Set Up Equation

The total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers is 315, so \( h + 2h = 315 \).

Step3: Solve the Equation

Combine like terms: \( 3h = 315 \). Then divide both sides by 3: \( h=\frac{315}{3}=105 \).

Answer:

105
