Help asap A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 555 hamburgers and cheeseburgers on Saturday. There were 55 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. How many hamburgers were sold on Saturday?

There were 250 hamburgers sold on Saturday.

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ A local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 555 hamburgers

   and cheeseburgers on Saturday

→ Assume that the shop sold x hamburgers

∵ The shop sold x hamburgers

∵ There were 55 more cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers

→ That means the number of cheeseburgers is greater than the

    number of hamburger by 55

∴ The shop sold x + 55 cheeseburgers

∵ The shop sold 555 burgers

→ Add the two types of burgers and equate the sum by 555

∴ x + x + 55 = 555

∴ 2x + 55 = 555

→ Subtract 55 from both sides

∴ 2x + 55 - 55 = 555 - 55

∴ 2x = 500

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∵ =

∴ x = 250

∵ x represents the number of hamburgers

∴ There were 250 hamburgers sold on Saturday.
