Burt's Burger Barn sold 495 hamburgers today. The number sold with cheese was half the number sold without cheese. How many of each kind were sold?
------------
Let # sold with cheese be "x"
# sold without cheese is "2x"
----------
EQUATION:
x + 2x = 495
3x = 495
x = 165 (# sold with cheese)
2x = 330 (# sold without cheese)
