You own a hamburger franchise and are planning to shut down operations for the day, but you are left with 15 buns, 21 defrosted beef patties, and 17 opened cheese slices. Rather than throw them out, you decide to use them to make burgers that you will sell at a discount. Plain burgers each require 1 beef patty and 1 bun, double cheeseburgers each require 2 beef patties, 1 bun, and 2 slices of cheese, while regular cheeseburgers each require 1 beef patty, 1 bun, and 1 slice of cheese. How many of each should you make? plain burgers:______ double cheeseburgers:_______ regular cheeseburgers:_______

Respuesta :

To determine how many of each type of burger you should make with the leftovers, start with how many double cheeseburgers you could make. You could make 6 leaving you with 9 buns (15-9) 9 beef patties(21-12), and 5 cheese slices (17-12).

With the remaining items, you would make 5 cheeseburgers and 4 hamburgers if you want to use up the remaining items.

The goal here is to have the same number of buns and burger remaining after the double cheeseburgers.
