The number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers that were sold on Wednesday given a total sales of 557 is 250 hamburgers and 257 cheeseburgers respectively.

Equation

  • Total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers= 557

  • Number of hamburgers = x

  • Number if cheeseburgers = 57 + x

Total number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers = Number of hamburgers + Number if cheeseburgers

557 = (x) + (57 + x)

557 = x + 57 + x

557 = 2x + 57

  • subtract 57 from both sides

557 - 57 = 2x

500 = 2x

  • divide both sides by 2

x = 500 / 2

x = 250

So,

Number of hamburgers = x

= 250 hamburgers

Number if cheeseburgers = 57 + x

= 57 + 250

= 257 cheeseburgers

Therefore, the number of hamburgers and cheeseburgers that were sold on Wednesday given a total sales of 557 is 250 hamburgers and 257 cheeseburgers respectively.
