You own a hamburger franchise and are planning to shut down operations for the day, but you are left with 10 buns, 12 defrosted beef patties, and 7 opened cheese slices. Rather than throw them out, you decide to use them to make burgers that you will sell at a discount. Plain burgers each require 1 beef patty and 1 bun, double cheeseburgers each require 2 beef patties, 1 bun, and 2 slices of cheese, while regular cheeseburgers each require 1 beef patty, 1 bun, and 1 slice of cheese. How many of each should you make?

3 regular cheeseburgers, 2 double cheeseburgers, 5 regular burgers

Step-by-step explanation:

3 cheeseburgers would get you 3 of each item

2 double cheeseburgers would bring you to 5 buns, 7 patties, and 7 cheese slices

5 regular burgers would bring the total to 10 buns, 12 patties, and 7 cheese slices
