250 hamburgers were sold on Monday
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the total amount of hamburgers and cheeseburgers sold by the shop on Monday= 449
Moreover, 51 fewer cheeseburgers when compared to hamburgers were sold on Monday
Let us assume that “x” hamburgers were sold by the shop on Monday
Therefore, the total no of cheeseburgers sold by the shop on Monday= x-51
(since 51 fewer cheeseburgers than hamburgers)
Combined they both amount to 449
⇒x+x-51= 449
⇒2x = 449+51 (Moving 51 to the right side and putting the equation on either side in similar terms)
⇒2x=500
⇒X=250
Thus the number of hamburgers sold by the shop on Monday is 250
