Answer:

  • c + h = 220
  • h = 3c

Step-by-step explanation:

The total sold is the sum of the individual numbers sold, hence c+h.

We assume "3 times more" means "3 times as many", so the number of hotdogs sold (h) is 3 times the number of cheeseburgers sold (c), hence 3c.

  c + h = 220

  h = 3c

_____

55 cheeseburgers and 165 hotdogs were sold.
