Question 188941
On Monday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 448 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Monday?
---------------------------
Equations:
Quantity Eq. : h + c = 448
Quantity Eq. : c = 3h
----------------------------
Substitute to solve for "h":
h + 3h = 448
4h = 448
h = 112 (# of hamburgers)
----------
Substitute to solve for "c":
112 + c = 448
c = 336 (# of cheesburgers)
