On Thursday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 255 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was two times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Tuesday?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The number of hamburgers were sold on Thursday is 85

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The number of hamburgers is x

∴ the number of cheeseburgers is 2x

∴ x + 2x = 255

∴ 3x = 255

∴ x = 255 ÷ 3 = 85

∴ The number of hamburgers were sold on Thursday is 85
