On Saturday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 336 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

Respuesta :

Answer:

84 hamburgers were sold on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = number of hamburgers sold on Saturday.

Divide 336 by 4, because you need 3 times x, plus x.

You are left with 84.

x = 84

Proof

If you multiply 84 by 3, you get 252.

252 cheeseburgers were sold on Saturday.

Add the number of hamburgers sold on Saturday, 84, to the number of cheeseburgers sold.

252 + 84 = 336.
