Answer: 350
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the cheeseburger be represented by a.
Since there were 51 fewer cheeseburgers sold than hamburgers. This means that hamburgers will be:
= a + 51.
Since the local hamburger shop sold a combined total of 649 hamburgers and cheeseburgers. This will be:
a + a + 51 = 649
2a + 51 = 649
2a = 649 - 51
2a = 598
a = 598/2
a = 299
299 cheeseburger were sold
Therefore, the number of hamburger sold will be:
= 649 - 299
= 350
