A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 659 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Sunday. There were 50 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many were sold on Sunday

The sold 354.5 hamburgers and 300.5 cheeseburgers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let number of hamburgers=h

Let number of cheeseburgers=c

On Sunday, the shop sold a combined total of 659 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. Therefore:

h+c=659 ... (I)

There were 50 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers.

c=h-50 ... (ii)

Substitution of equation (ii) into (I)

h + (h-50) = 659

2h=659+50

2h=709

h=709/2=354.5

From (ii)

c=h-50

=354.5-50=300.5

The sold 354.5 hamburgers and 300.5 cheeseburgers.
