On Monday, a local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 352 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. The number of cheeseburgers sold was three times the number of hamburgers sold. How many hamburgers were sold on Monday?

To answer this question, you could use algebra.

If the number of cheeseburgers was three times the number of hamburgers, we could write this as.

Cheeseburgers= 3x and Hamburgers = x

We can then write an expression for the total number of burgers.

4x = 352

Divide both sides by four.

x = 88

Because hamburgers = x in relation to the cheeseburgers, that would mean the number of hamburgers sold on monday was 88.

if you explain the the question more correctly i might be able to answer this better
