A regular slice of pizza is $.75 and a hamburger slice is $1.35. We sold 40 more regular slices than hamburger slices. Our total was $292.50. How many hamburger slices did we sell.
-------------------------------------
Let # of hamburger slices be h
Then # of pizza slices is h+40
Value Eq:: 75(h+40)+135h = 29250 cents
210h + 75*40 = 29250
h = $1.25 (price of one hamburger slice)
