document.write( "Question 197086: A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 502 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 52 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Sunday?
\n" ); document.write( "let hb be the number of hamburgers and cb be the number of cheeseburgers
\n" ); document.write( "\"hb%2Bcb=502\" -------(1)
\n" ); document.write( "\"cb=hb%2B52\" -------(2)
\n" ); document.write( "or
\n" ); document.write( "\"cb-hb=52\" --------(3)
\n" ); document.write( "from (1), \"cb=502-hb\" ------(4)
\n" ); document.write( "substitute (4) in (3)
\n" ); document.write( "\"502-2hb=52\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"2hb=502-52=450\"
\n" ); document.write( "therefore, \"hb=450%2F2=225\"
\n" ); document.write( "number of hamburgers = 225\r
